Bloghungry is smitten with avocados these days. I used to think they were too mushy and bland, but no longer. Now I'm an addict. I think it's a California thing. In my recent adventures with avocados, I've taken to experimenting with different guacamole recipes. Here's my current favorite.Fresh/Easy Guacamole
3 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/2 medium red onion, quartered
1 large tomato, quartered
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
In a food processor, pulse onion, garlic, and lime juice until finely minced. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until it reaches the your desired consistancy. Sprinkle with any extra lime juice to prevent browning and serve.
Love the new format! The category links are genius.

Must second Josh re: the category links - so much more convenient when using BH as a recipe index. Avocado is delicious - funny that it's unappealing to so many kids. I used to lump it in with mangos as devil fruit for some reason. It's definitely a California thing - about 95% of them come from this state according to Wikipedia.

There are no words to express how much I love this picture. They should put you on labels. You'll do for avocados what Chiquita did for bananas.
