Three ingredient recipes....(Not including salt and pepper)

Perfect Guacamole -Every time

Two Ripe Avocados
Half a small onion chopped fine
juice of one small lime

Combine the Avocado innards with the onion and lime. Add salt to taste. Leave in a bowl on the counter for at least one hour to marry the flavors. (If you plop the pit of an avocado in the bowl with the quac...It won't turn brown as quickly)

1. Strike up the bland

sorry, but it's just no good without chiles. A piece of plastic wrap placed directly on the surface also retards browning. Chopped tomato and garlic also add levels of flavor, but aren't necessary. The chile is.

This is Minnesota guacamole. Those of us who know what the real thing is like would leave it sitting on the table after one taste.

franksolich needs a biology lesson here.

How long does "that time of the month" usually last?

The defrocked warped primitive's been cranky for days and days and days.

2. ROFL.....

I embrace my guac blandness and celebrate it. Funny, I love spicy food but I've always seen guac as a cooling dish to balance the heat. I do love a hot salsa and love the chilies mixed with fruit.  Go figure. As long as I don't have to hang out with Michelle Bachman...I could do Minnesota

And here she is, Doug's stupid ex-wife, posting under the influence:

4. See, that's how I feel about vanilla ice cream.

I love spice but the rests are just as immportant.

The literary one must've overloaded a little bit on the booze and meds.

5. I LOVE Vanilla ....It's my favorite too.

I actually really really love French Vanilla but that Haagen Daz Honey Vanilla had me in it's grip for a while.

I don't care for vanilla scented products like soaps or lotions but give me the plain white ice cream anyday. ( I also had a thing for a while with the Costco white cake......but we won't even discuss that)

8. While I agree that it is a cooling balance

I never did care for guac until I started making it at home, and I do put a few shots of Frank's Red Hit in it...just a few to give it the bright flavor of Frank's without the heat.

My guac ends up being the avocado, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, garlic, freshly squeezed lime juice and Frank's. It's awesome! And it's still very cooling, but it's not like I eat/make anything very spicy anyway except maybe Thai food.

I'll have to think on anything I make that has so few ingredients. Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

One wonders if Mrs. Alfred Packer, who doesn't like yellow people, ever makes Chinese food.

3. Pesto green bean-potato salad

A variation of a recipe my sister gave me:

Small red potatoes, sliced thin
Fresh green beans
Refrigerated pesto sauce

Steam the potatoes and green beans until tender. (I steam them together.) Toss with the pesto sauce. My sister's recipe also calls for linguine, but I found that the potatoes alone provide enough starches. One can also add walnuts and/or chopped, cooked pancetta bacon (which I highly recommend).

6. Including something like pesto as one of the three ingredients doesn't quite enter into the spirit of the thing.

It's kind of like a novelist resolving a plot breakdown by announcing "and then a miracle occurred".

7. Now that's a very funny analogy.

By the way, franksolich's War and Peace-length novel about the sex life of Mrs. Alfred Packer is going to have a lot of analogies perhaps even Mrs. Alfred Packer herself might find amusing.

20. Or Julia Child's potato soup

Potatoes
Leeks or onions
Heavy cream or butter to finish.

It's still something I make nearly every week during the winter. It's gorgeous and filling and warms you up from the inside. It can be eaten chilled in summer, but I'm not overly fond of it that way, I think it lessens the flavor.

The defrocked warped primitive's been cranky for days and days and days.

1 week of PPMS, 1 week of PMS, 1 week during, and 1 week of recovery pretty much leaves 2-3 days of tolerable.

Thank you, sir.

I just never paid attention.

When a woman gets cranky, I run away; I don't want to mess with it.

But the defrocked warped primitive's been grouchy for more than a week or ten days now; one wonders if she's got something inside of her that needs out, but can't get out because she's clogged.

[NHSparky]

But she is right about one thing, Frank--it IS bland as hell as the OP made it.

I'll do the avocados, 1/2 a lime, garlic salt, and if I don't have fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers, I'll make do with some cayenne.  Throw in a TINY pinch of cumin, some fresh cilantro, and a touch of milk to add creaminess, and it's all good, people.

You want tomatoes?  Make salsa or pico de gallo.

I suspect if CalPeg dispenses some of her poetic internal cleanser, the defrocked warped one wouldn't be in the condition she is now.

I learned the medicinal properties even works on cats.

The cat seemed to have difficultly expelling a hairball, so I read her one of CalPeg's selective works. The problem was corrected just a few minutes later.

[PatriotGame]

Thank y'all - I'll just stick with ketchup! 

[soleil]

Mine was a recipe from someone else, but it is the best I have had. Avocados, a tablespoon of mayo (to cream it up), some homemade salsa, and a  squeeze of lime. Oh and this may be common knowledge for thos pros at guac, but we put the seed back in the dip to keep it from browning. Not sure if it really works, but the person before me did it, so now I do.

Usually about 5 days, but if you add PMS in you're talking up to 12 days, and if she's going through perimenopause? it could be daily.

The other day my husband said you're being a little snotty, I looked at him and said when your hormones start doing somersaults then we'll talk about snotty.

[debk]

Perfect observation for the so-called argument over whether or not, God is a man.

If God was a woman, it would not be us women having periods, babies or pms.....

No doubt, God is a man.

Further proof....God made Man without reading a set of directions.

He reviewed his construction, decided it needed more attention to detail and what was needed for perfection....then .... He made Woman.

 

[Karin]

That potato and green bean salad sounds disgusting.  Adding linguini?  Sounds like a big mess fit for the garbage can.

No, the acid from the citrus is what keeps the guac from browning.

And mayo?  Heretic.  Same with the tomatoes.  You want tomatoes?  Make salsa or pico de gallo.

Then again, I take crap because I put milk (only like a tablespoon) into it.  But then again, these are the same people who think Taco Bell is good Mexican food--and for this area, it is, comparatively speaking.  Oh, if I had the startup capital to open a restaurant...oh, who the hell am I kidding?  People up here have no clue what spices are.

My husband says he doesn't trust anyone who can bleed for a week and live. However, he is careful about what week it is when he says this.

You know, there aren't too many places in the world where a conversation about guacamole and periods would make sense. Oh, and I use pico de gallo & lime in my guacamole and Playtex sport tampons in my...well never mind.
