Guacamole


Let's talk guacamole. It's a hit at parties, great on a turkey sandwich, and makes chips healthy(ish).

We have an avocado tree that, for several months of the year, provides huge beautiful avocados. In Hawaii's grocery stores avocados cost your left arm, so you can bet we made use of our avocado tree.

I've made this guacamole several times, and it is so dang good. It has your basics - limes, garlic, cilantro, as well as cumin and cayenne for some seasoning. Mix, taste, and season to your liking.
