Cook and Tell: Alton Brown’s Guacamole

27 Aug

Have I mentioned that I’ve never been a big fan of avocado? You are probably wondering, why? Well, avocado’s texture reminds me of butter. And butter and I are just not best buds. Apparently, I had a bit of a traumatic experience with butter during my early childhood, and it has stayed with me for life. I won’t go into all the gory details. Let’s just say, never force a child to eat butter. It results in butter bubbles and a life long dislike of the particular food product.

But my love, hate relationship with avocado dissipated when I came across Alton Brown’s guacamole.

I had an avocado laying around, as I had planned to introduce it to my little one. But since I took my sweet time, I figured I better have the adults consume it in the form of guacamole instead. I am not going to repeat the recipe here, as I followed it exactly. The Food Network came through once again!

 

Valentine’s Day Afternoon

15 Feb

This year Valentine’s Day was a pretty casual one for us. We didn’t plan ahead and made no dinner reservations. In fact we had dinner with my parents at home. Instead we made last minute plans to meet up with friends in Tiburon, during the beautiful, sunny afternoon.

So we took a drive over the Golden Gate bridge to Guaymas Restaurant in Tiburon for some chips…

It was a nice, relaxing afternoon during an unusually sunny and warm winter day, with some really tasty snacks.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!
