me: And what's more, I used a recipe from the Nile delta region. I made guac like an Egyptian!

me: Sigh. Nobody around to appreciate my puns.
Seriously, though, I did make some pretty good guac.


*For those who are interested, I diced a medium/large pearl onion (perhaps half the size of a golf ball), two or three decent-sized cloves or garlic, two and a half Hass avocados (one half was rotten), and a green jalapeno and mashed them all together till I had a nice lumpy, gooey consistency. Then I squozed [sic]** in the juice from one lime and added salt and pepper to taste, and mixed thoroughly. I suppose if you like tomatoes in your guac, you could add two diced medium Roma tomatoes here. I don't, so I didn't.

**It's a verb. Just ask my mother. She's an editor.

***Fine, I admit it. I got the whole idea from a Trader Joe's "guacamole kit" that I bought for $2.50 today. But it's a simple thing to put together and it had ideas that went beyond my own for making yummy avocado paste, and all the necessary ingredients came in one little container.
