guacamole with what's in our kitchen

(read to the end of the recipe first! if you don't, you might be sad!)

so, sometimes i want to make guacamole because the avocados are actually ripe, but i forget to buy everything else...like cilantro and tomatoes. oops. this is what happens:

.chop 2 avocados pretty small
.chop 3/4 of a red (purple?) onion really small
.squeeze all the juice out 1/2 lime. squeeze a lot.
.steal a small handful of tomatoes out of sarah elisabeth's salad (don't tell! the salad had enough to share)and chop them really small too
.find two slightly old hot peppers from the farm share in the fridge. remove hot seeds and insides. chop them super super tiny. (if your hot peppers aren't old and wrinkly, maybe you only need one)
.add a little bit of salt. just a little!

stir with a spoon. then stir some more. then stir some more. if you used super ripe avocados like me, it will get supersmooth. who needs a blender? not me.

now you're done. actually, now you should repeat the whole thing with two more avocados, because this was good and i was sad that there wasn't more guacamole. or you should have doubled the recipe in the first place...

(hopefully, you read the note at the top, and read down to here, and you doubled the recipe in the first place and don't have to run out of guacamole and be sad like i was yesterday!)

.eat! with chips, maybe? the end.
