Two Faced Chef

The girlfriend came to visit for July 4th weekend and Rico, obviously feeling threatened by Jess and my secret love, pulled out the stops and made us some fancy guacamole.  This stuff was incredible.  The three of us sat on the roof and ripped straight through the whole bowl, feeling wonderfully satisfied and ill at the same time.  This is a pretty simple recipe that with a lot of approximation and a lot of luck is a good way to keep your girlfriend and co. happy.

The aftermath was totally worth it.  I can now never ever see a reason for store bought guac.  It’s as blasphemous as Doritos having calories.  If I had a choice, I would just inject Doritos straight into my veins and subsist on cheesy goodness and MSG alone.

Ingredients:

• 2 avocados
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 4 scallions, well chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
• 1 plum tomato, chopped
• Juice of half a lemon
• Kosher salt, freshly ground to taste

Mix the above ingredients together, altering the addition of cilantro, lemon and salt (or any ingredient) to taste.  Yum.

Yup, we ate the whole bowl, as well as the bag of Red Tortilla Chips we scooped with.  Look at all those healthy fats and Vitamin E.  OK, I know I’m not justifying our consumption very well, but it was totally worth it and left us all so full we couldn’t eat dinner until after we were all out on the town from 7pm to 2am using only vodka as fuel.  Whoops…
