Jkath would be proud - Guacamole

I made my first guacamole this weekend. Avocados are something I used to hate with a passion. Well we all know that tastes can change and I am so happy that is true. I now love the little green buggers.

I made the guacamole by the seat of my pants. I diced a 3/4 of a small tomato. The tomato itself was pretty flavorless and a bit crunchy so it was there for texture and color more than flavor. I got a pepper that I thought was an ancho, but it had the heat of a jalopeno so I used less of that than I originally planned. I diced one clove of garlic and added that. I took a handful of chives from my garden as well as a handful of cilantro. I put in three small avocados. To this I added the juice of one lime and a sprinkle of Adobo seasoning. I also added a bit of salt.

I could not get enough of the stuff and neither could DW. after one bite she asked me how expensive it was to make because she is going to ask me to make it every day during the summer

oh GB, I am soooo proud of you!

And, your recipe doesn't sound like a "seat of your pants" one...more like a seasoned southwesterner!

Ya done good, cowboy!
