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.

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

4. See, that's how I feel about vanilla ice cream.
I love spice but the rests are just as immportant.

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.

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".

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.

Oh my.
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.
1 week of PPMS, 1 week of PMS, 1 week during, and 1 week of recovery pretty much leaves 2-3 days of tolerable.
*ducks and runs* :-)

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.

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.
Heehee! Good one - they have not one clue. :hi5:

I don't what you all are talking about. I never get cranky :uhsure:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Useless fact, even though it seems like more, it's usually only about 2 Tablespoons total per month.

Obviously determined by someone who had never had a period. ::)
This is going in a totally "spa" direction!! lol! I remember the first time I heard it was only a tablespoon or two a month. I was shocked myself. Doesn't even begin to seem right. But hey, I am glad that is all it is. And I am also sure this will scare away many many of the men here!!
The clots alone could total minimum 2 Tablespoons. And I did look for a spoiler button before I posted that LOL.OMG!

Frank asked a simple question LOL.
All I got to counter with is this:
I had a roommate, one year in college...who had a boyfriend that would light his farts. Completely dressed...he would sit on the floor (thank God it was tile)... with his back against the door....hold a lighter at his crotch and fart. This long blue flare would flame out from the lighter.
Disgusting!!!
Have to admit there was a little part of me, hoping he'd set his crotch on fire.... :evillaugh:
Heh, heh, heh! I knew a guy who burned the livin' hell outa himself when he tried to do it with nothin' more than swim trunks on! Laughed my ass off! He however, had to go to the ER to have work done on his! Wonder if he's a DUmpster DIver now?
