Some days (like today) I don’t feel like writing. Lack of sleep compounds quickly, and I’m ready to call it a day.
So I’m just going to share my guacamole recipe - something I’ve been perfecting over the last decade.
You can make a decent guacamole just by cutting all the veggies and mashing it all together. The key here is order of operations - it’s the difference between good and great. I’ve won a few backyard cooking contests purely with this side.
Summer’s almost here, so enjoy.
