8. What, no cilantro?

or Kudzu?

:rofl:

Just kidding.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. I take it you know about my issues with cilantro

:rofl:

No EVOO either! :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

14. I have similar issues with cilantro!

:rofl:

If I wanted to eat soap, I would put chunks of ivory soap in my meals.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Bingo!

:D

[Ryano42]

13. WONDERFUL!!! MMMMM

I love the basics...no sour cream or extenders...just AVOCADOES as the base!!!

If you have time, warm your tostadas in the oven and sprinkle with a bit more salt. Most of the really good restaurants here in Santa Fe serve chips and salsa for FREE with meals. Some warm chips...:9

Yummm and enjoy!!!

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

17. I agree...I'd never put sour cream in my Guac

Thanks for the tip! :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

15. Do you know about the secret ingredient for killer guac?

And no, I don't mean cilantro. No cilantro in the guac for me and I love cilantro. Garlic powder! If no one Chez Sniffa objects, try it with a little garlic powder and no tomato sometime. It's a good way to make a greater contrast in flavor and texture if you're also serving a fresh salsa at the same meal.

BTW, some Californians make insta-guac with only mashed avocados and a small amount of jarred salsa.

Your dinner plans sound like my cup of tea!

I'm making pasta e fagioli, in the dry style that my mother made rather than a soup.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Oooh, that sounds great!

And your dinner does as well! :bounce:

:hi:

[belladonna]

22. Dammit, now I want guacamole and I'm the only one who can make it

Be sweet and bring me some, will you? I'm far too lazy right now to make my own :D

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Yeah, I'll catch the first flight down to VA...

:D

[unpossibles]

24. damn it, you're making me hungry!

I love making guac.

We made a really neat wasabi guacamole once with baked wontons for chips (although that part was a pain in the butt - regular chips or pits chips would be fine) for a party once.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Ooh, how did you do it?

Sounds delicious!

[unpossibles]

26. I don't know the recipe off hand but I could find it when I get home if you want

I want to say it was similar to regular guacamole, but with wasabi and ginger (and maybe something else?) added to it, and the wonton wrappers we cut into triangles, lightly salted and baked. No sour cream although tomatoes, onions, and garlic may have been in it.

I tend to cook using prayer and Chaos as methods.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Lol, 'prayer and chaos"

:rofl:

Yeah, I'd love the recipe if you have it :)

[Lautremont]

28. Does it have any avocados in it?

[bicentennial_baby]

29. 2!

:D

[Lautremont]

30. I ask because there was an incident a while back

in which a woman sued Kraft over their instant guacamole after she discovered it contained exactly no avocado. There was a bit of a flamewar about it here, as I recall.

Yours sounds good!

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. *drools in lap* mmmm Guacamole.

:9

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Come ovah!

:bounce:

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. Be *right* there

I just need to get my shoes on. :rofl:

[idgiehkt]

33. cilantro?

I can't remember whether you are a pro or anti-cilantro person... :hi:

I loves me some guacamole.
