Guacamole

Guacamole - I could just eat an entire mixing bowl full of this stuff.  Forget the chips, I'll just use a spoon!

​I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast .  When I was growing up, we pretty much ate produce according to the seasons and nothing exotic was ever in the small stores.  It wasn't until college that I encountered my first avocado.  Yes, to me it seemed exotic and spelled out jungles and warm tropical places.  It was love at first bite. 
One year I lived on avocado and whole grain bread sandwiches.  I was a poor college student, but I loved avocados.  When I moved to Florida, shortly after college, I met the LARGE variety of avocados.  Large love!
It wasn't until I finally moved to Texas that I was introduced to guacamole - the king of avocado dishes!  I still remember my first bite in a Mexican restaurant.  Plain avocados were a thing of the past now, move over for my new love - guacamole.

Ingredients
4 or 5 large avocados or 7 - 8 medium
juice of one lemon or 2 small limes
several spoonfuls of salsa (mild, medium, or hot - your choice)
salt and pepper to taste
Steps
  1. Peel avocados and remove seed. (Save one of the seeds.)  Chop into fairly small pieces and place in a bowl with lemon or lime juice.
  2. I use a potato masher tool or a large fork, but you can stick blend if you want.  Mash up the avocados.  I like my guac a little chunky.
  3. Add salsa, a spoonful at a time until the taste is just right.
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. NOW - Remember that avocado seed?  Plop it down on the top of your guacamole - it keeps it from oxidizing and turning brown!!!
  6. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until use.
