I am now 72% Guacamole

Jul 11, 2011 15:01

Because that's what I've been eating almost all weekend. Mmmm, avocados. Fresh tomatoes, garlic from the garden... And I made some baked taquitos that are so good, oh man. We were celebrating the Mr's promotion this weekend by being lazy slugs and eating. <-- THE AMERICAN DREAM.

I had palak paneer at lunch today. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum. OMG it was so good.

Those taquitos sound really yummy.

Also, I think I want to come live at your house, because I would happily live on guacamole for a weekend. Or longer.

Now I'm hungry.

YUM, that is one of my all time faves, I could eat my weight in it.

We have fun at my house, re: foodwise. I LIKE FOOD. Oh man, the avocados are massive and delicious right now, they demand to be turned into guacamole! So simple, so delicious.

(And now I'm done with my work, I get to plaaaaaaay and read, cough, YAY.)

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I hope it makes sense all together!

We had Indian for lunch and small batch local ice cream after the museling got out of school, and despite my stomach being very full I still have a craving for guacamole now, because avocados are DIVINE.

IIIIIIICE CREAAAAAM. Yum. I have supplies to make some, we're doing that later this week. Nothing like fresh ice cream. (What flavor did you get? *chinfists*)

Avocados are a miracle fruit. I HEART THEM. Little salt, little minced garlic, they need nothing else. Except for a little fresh tomato. Maybe some lime. But that's it. (And that's my guac recipe, hahaha)

OOh, congrats to Mr. S!

Also, when the hell are you going to break down and write a recipe book? Or a drinks book? Hoooonestly.

Thanks! He's moving up big time, I feel like a trophy wife! Hahahaha. In my running shorts and pony tail and dirty bedroom.

Hmm, if Teresa Guidice can do it... :D

Congratulations to Mr. Stoney! Well deserved, I'm certain.

And Mmmm, guacomole. I had an avocado last week with a tomato, mozzarella and some fancy balsamic vinegar. The tomato could've been riper, but it was still mighty tasty.

It is a million degrees out, so I'm waiting for it to be a reasonable hour for me to have a margarita and float in the pool with it. I say 4 is a good time. Right? Hmm. (Hahaha, I sound like a lush.)

LOL, my Mom has a cocktail every day at that hour. She's 75 and retired, though, so no need to keep up appearances.

And hey, it's five o'clock somewhere...

He is very good at what he does, and I'm super proud of him. *BEAMS*

I've not had an avocado in a caprese salad before! Very interesting...

I LIKE YOUR MOM. Tell her she has a secret admirer. It's TOTALLY after 8 in England! I'm way behind! ;)

I'm lol'ing at them saying a hard G in el gigante. That food is RIDICULOUS.

Sopapilla cheese cake sounds like it should be in my mouth. IN MY MOUTH. (You can make the taquitos up to the point of baking them and freeze them. Then just pop them in the oven and tack on another 5 minutes. YAY.)

Oh MAN Am I so glad you posted that recipe! The boyfriend is really into Mexican food right now and all I can make are tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas! Thank you, Thank you!

Also, your glee cocktails make me wish I like cocktails. Maybe if I make myself drink them enough I'll force myself to like them, similar to what i did with beer. Hmmm.

I look forward to your Hoarders recap. Your last one lead to an excellent group discussion with my youth home kids!

You are welcome! They're kinda cheater taquitos with the cream cheese, but they are so tasty, no one will care. And you can make them up to the point of baking and freeze them! That way you can always have some on hand (just pop them in the oven and tack on 5 minutes.)

Oh, don't make yourself, if you don't like something, that's legit, imo. (I wonder what it is about cocktails you don't like, though? Just the alcohol taste? Or are you getting crazy martinis that have mixer?)

Oooh, how cool! You are awesome for telling me, THANK YOU.

Anything that's easy to make and delicious is a win in my kitchen.

I've probably just had bad cocktails (I've only had 2) but mostly it's the hard liquor taste, I think. I'm open to try some of your recipes, though. They sound delicious. And hey, I used to hate beer, but now thanks to my bf, I've almost completed a world tour at Old Chicago and I don't regret it!

No problem! Your blog's a great source of inspiration!

Yeah, I'm guessing you've had "so you want to smell like gin!" cocktails. I've got a recipe for margaritas that's pretty outstanding. It's very refreshing and lime-tasting, not booze tasting. You should give a mojito a try - that's something that ANYONE can like, promise.
