Recipe: guacamole. I love guacamole.
But only if it has FLAVOR. Have you ever had guacamole that tastes like… paste? EW. My sister makes damn fine guacamole. This is her recipe. First, you start with your avocado.

Sort of. [?] It’s really important that I stress the vegetableness going on today considering I have a mouthful of white trash this very instant. Are you familiar with white trash? And I’m talking about the sweet and salty snack mix and not your friendly neighbors with the braid down the middle of their back [him] and the nasty chewing tobacco habit [her]. Let me enlighten you: white trash is a mix of a bunch of snacky foods like Cherrios [healthy!] But back to the important stuff: the vegetables.
Since the minute our yearly trip up North was in reach, I was excitedly scouring my favorite local foodie websites in anticipation of what I would bring home.
