Yum.  And it's interesting that every recipe that says "California" has avocados.  :lol:

And, usually, bay shrimp.

Just like anything that says "Oregon" has cream cheese and smoked salmon weed.

It's quite irritating, actually.

:lol:

Adios

I think I'll make it with guac instead of plain avocados.

avocado is from the Devil

I was once accused of playing Devil's Avocado.

It resulted in months of mockery for the person in question.

Holy crap. :lulz:

I'm going to try to pepper that into everyday conversation and see how much I can play with people.

I am surrounded by idiots and....well, idiots, really.  This sort of occurence is sadly far too common.

My English very poor. It took this comment for me to comprehend. Oh well.

Now that I know that I do not understand you...does "minced" imply the use of a garlic press?

Either cut very, very, very small:



Or put through a garlic press. I prefer garlic press because I am lazy. :wink:

man, i love to mince garlic.


after my grande iced cinnamon dolce latte from starbucks (yes i know SHUT UP!!!!)
you should see me go...

Darth Cupcake

I had two boyfriends in a row who were great at mincing garlic and would gladly mince away for me whenever I cooked. This spoiled me, and now I hate mincing garlic. I'm just not good at it.

I bought a garlic press the other day and I've been going crazy. It's wonderful. All my food is now heavily garlicked! :fap:

I crush the clove with the flat side, and then run the knife through.  What's the problem?

I am incompetent. :oops:

Also, sucky knives.

Sucky knives are the suck.  You should spend the $$$ for at least one decent chef's knife, even if it is only a Wusthoff.

I intend to do that when I get my own place.

Kitchen implements have a talent for getting ruined/broken/lost in my current living situation, so I am not currently interested in investing in something with a limited lifespan.

So, in a year or two, I will get some hell of awesome knives and it'll be magical. :D
