We got avocados & tomatoes in last week’s Farm Fresh delivery bin (they should sponsor us haha) so I decided to make guacamole.  The recipe book that came with our Vita-mix had a recipe which we followed other than  leaving out the cilantro.  It turned out great, yet slightly bland, but not knowing what it needed, we left it alone.  I take that back, we added some Korean red pepper to spice it up.  We bought the makings for the next salsa attempt, but since it’s all canned I’m waiting.
