scrumptious meal.

Oh, downtown you had to mention tamales. Goddamn, I want some tamales. Mouth watering.
Almost nothing funner then watching a yankee try to eat the corn husk, btw. |

I'm going to bring two threads together:
I shall buy a Salad Slapper thingy and use it to make guacamole. |

My sister grew an avocado tree from a pit. It was in a glass on the window sill, to a small pot to a larger pot in the living room to a huge pot on the patio
to a hole in the ground. That tree got huge. It started as a fuerte (smooth skin avocado) but was cross pollinated with a haas. The avocados the tree produced
had both smooth and hard skins on the fruit.
The best avocados come from the Rio Grande area of Texas/Mexico. Next best from California. Hawaiian and Florida avocados have a funny after taste. |

I don't think I've ever had an avocado. I'll have to try them.

I made BLTAs for lunch today - that's a BLT with half an avocado. They're pretty popular locally.

omgosh - I had guac yesterday from a mexican restaurant. It was my first time there .. the salsa was shit, but the guac was pretty good.
I like chunky guac with onions and tomatoes. So ... seriously ... All I need to do is buy 3 avocados, cilantro (YUMMERZ!), tomato, onion, garlic, lemon and lime juice, salt and hot sauce to taste and I'm good? (I want the super supreme deluxe guac, not just avacado and lemon/lime juice) What about proportions? I'm not good with that stuff! I'm such a bad cook.

Oh! And I know NOTHING about ripe fruits and stuff like that, especially with an avocado, I've never just purchased one without it already being guac - so,
what kind of avocado am I looking for (shape, texture, firmness, etc.)?

That's the beauty of guac. It's entirely made of fruits and vegetables, yet tastes like any fatty, processed dipped.

somewhat soft to the touch - there are two kinds: one with black knobby skin and one with a thinner green smooth skin

Don't get them too soft! I prefer to buy mine a little on the unripe side, so just in case they've been overly handled, they won't have too many
ugly bruises. They ripen in a couple of days. Do not put them in the fridge, unless you absolutely have to. Sometimes you end up buying avocados with cold
damage (they are dark brown around the pit) because they've been stored in the cold too long. Find a grocery store with good produce turnover--and watch
out for SQUEEZERS. Avocados can bruise easily and then proceed to rot without ripening fully. Slimy rotten avocados...you can cut those parts out.
Sometimes with the HAAS (the dark green knobby ones) you can lightly shake them and feel the pit move..they are ripe (almost overripe) when that happens. |

I've only had avocado once, and it was when I was just curious and bought an avocado, cut it open and ate it... it was kinda plain on its own. And I also
have to confess that I've never had guacamole before
