Very simple, Helen . . .
. . . for every four perfectly ripened large Haas avocados, add:
1 chopped Roma tomato
1 bunch of diced green onions
2 diced jalapeños, seeded and de-veined
juice of 1/2 lemon
garlic salt
Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning
Morehouse yellow mustard
The avocados must be mashed as little as possible, and the blending should be performed as lightly as possible, too.
It's all about texture . . . too much mashing and blending is ruinous.
Cordially, Art
Quick Note to say "THANK YOU" to the organizers...
of the SoCal GTG this last weekend! Thank you for welcoming my daughter, my wife and I into the "Purist family" so warmly! We had a wonderful afternoon meeting new Purists and finally being able to "put a friendly face" to all the posts! Special Thanks to...
Great to finally meet you and the family . . .
. . . and next time, bring Grandma! We'll get a keg for the winter g-t-g ;-) . . .
Picture-taking and . . .
. . . cooking don't mix, or, as Bullwinkle would say, accidental guacamole on a lens is a bitch!
It was a pleasure to meet a lot of new faces
Food was great and I munched away all night. Wonderful people and community. I don't think anyone of us had cameras except Andrew, so hopefully Andrew has some pictures to share later. Cheers, Anthony
I was just thinking...
too busy chatting/drinking/eating that I took only one shot...this awesome vintage Polaris...love the patina (you got a beauty there Alex)...
Too much talking ...
I got off the plane only 2 hours ago (this time zone and seasonal shift is a killer), so give me a little while to 'process' the pictures. However, I think I spent more time chatting that snapping. Still, it was fantastic to meet all who attended after ye...
It was a great GTG
Fun seeing everyone. I did manage to take a few shots. Dr. No brought the avocados and proceeded to make an outstanding guacamole The guac was darn near hallucinogenic! Those handmade sausages were incredible Dr. No wore a fine vintage Omega Constellation...
Hallucinogenic Guacamole!!! That's a first ...
I've heard it called many things but never hallucinogenic... Art can I have that recipe? Sounds like ya'll had a great time, I wish I could have gone also. Fondly, Helen

You sound like quite a cook
That's a delicious sounding recipe. Ever think about publishing your own cookbook? Kindly, Helen
Could be confusing...
As I enjoy a really Mole... Chicken Mole, that is. That rich chocolate sauce (my favorite recipe also uses a little peanut butter) that gets cooked into a chicken dish. Native to Puebla, Mexico.
We're too late!
Look what I saw today at the grocery store! We'll have to come up with another clever name. :-O Daos...
I share my recipes . . .
. . . on Time Out. Tuna salad, guacamole, and blueberry pie so far, chili comin' up . . .
An extra step in making guacamole
Art, If you don’t like the skin of the Roma tomatoes in your guacamole dip, they are easy to peel. Just parboil them for a minute or so; enough to blister the skin. Then simply peel the skin off, dice and add to your avocadoes. I wish I could have been th...
Tomato skin is fine, Helen . . .
. . . but you've got to remove most of the seeds and veins from the jalapeños unless you're a glutton for punishment! PS - I make marinara sauce, too!
I'm gonna have to try your recipe
Soon! Glad you educated me about the veins and seeds of the jalapeños; I don't like learning the hard way when it comes to harming avocadoes. Best wishes, Helen
Great to meet you and the fam!
Next time bring Grandma along! PuristS and their families are always welcome! You have a lovely wife and daughter! It was so great to put a face to a name, and I look forward to seeing you at future events! Many thanks to Mkvc and family for their hospita...
If you left your cooler here . . .
please let me know. There is a cooler here that wasn't here before. Other than that, thanks to everyone who came and especially to the organizers. It was a great event, and Erika and I very much enjoyed seeing you all (and the watches you brought).
Thanks
Thank you to everybody who helped organize and bring all of this together. A special thanks to Mkvc and Erika who opened up their home and backyard to all of us, including my kids. Also, thanks Art for all the food you prepared. I don't think I ever saw y...
nice to have met ya Greg..
wife enjoyed meeting your lovely family...until next time!
Thank you!
Thank you Mike and Erika for inviting us all into your home. My girls had a great time and so did I. Also thanks for allowing us to take over your kitchen for a day. Hope we didn't leave it in too much of a mess. Thanks again!
I'm always delighted to put faces with handles at GTGs
Both me and my California friend had a great time and it was a pleasure to meet both Andrew and Alex for the first time. Glad not to be the furthest traveled for a GTG. Thanks very much to the hosts and all of the cooks--I will be thinking of you as I'm h...
Gathering
It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and special thanks to your daughter for giving my daughter a playmate for the afternoon. Looking forward to seeing you at more gatherings in the future.
my daughter was talking about her new friend
all the way home....gotta start 'em young in this GTG thing!..LOL
Many thanks!
Many thanks to MKVC for hosting this BBQ and GTG! Many thanks to the individuals who came from so far to be with the rest of us at the GTG! I had a great time seeing everyone again! It's been quite a while and it is a true pleasure to be able to meet ever...
Thanks to all.
The hosts, organizers, and attendees all deserve thanks for another great Purists event. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones.
A highlight ...
And thanks for the ride home, Mark. In a town full of Ferrari's, Lambo's, Bentley's and a raft of other exotics, the Rover was a highlight! Andrew
You're very welcome.
But I must apologize again for how filthy it was. Just because it looks proper when covered in dirt shouldn't be an excuse for my being too lazy to wash it!
How about a pic, Rovermark...
... for BDLJ and all the other Rover fans out here? Cheers, pplater.
