Can't Get Enough Of This GUACAMOLE For The Super Bowl !

.

"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?"


Well, the big American football day is nearly here . . . and even though most folks are focused on the game, I know that I'm going to focus on preparing and presenting all of the food while W.D. sits in his "man-chair" with remote control in hand! (Yes, he helps, but I really like doing it all so he's just out of the way!)
.
First and foremost on our Super Bowl menu is ALWAYS, fresh guacamole! I have made this recipe for years now after trying numerous versions of the green stuff. Personally, I feel that this is just plum awesome. But we all have our own ways to make 'gwauk', and this is my humble little attempt of green bliss on a chip! Just look at these fresh avocados and limes that I picked up at the organic food store . . . incredibly beautiful colors!

Start with slicing the avocados in half. With a knife pull out the pit. With a large spoon, in one large scoop, take out all of the pulp from the peel. It should look like this (below):
