Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner
   ...and according to my Wild Oats Wild Mail, that means... time to start thinking about tasty guacamole! Looks like a great recipe. If you've never made it from scratch, get yourself some nice, shiny green avacados from bigg's (where I always have had the most success with ready-ripe avocados, though no doubt Wild Oats, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, Jungle Jim's have good ones too) and follow along. The best part? You mix it by hand, with a fork. E-A-S-Y! It's always good to keep it chunky. Make it fresh, but let it mellow for a couple hours in the fridge for the flavors to blend in. The lime or lemon juice gives it just the right tang, and keeps it from turning yucky brown. Check out Chuck's video on Marilyn Harris making guacamole too. Good stuff! Save up your appetite for a visit to the Cincy-Cinco Festival at Riverbend Plaza May 5-6. The organizers assure me that all the money raised goes right back into the Latino community. And they're pretty particular about what food vendors come to the event - it's only authentic stuff. Here's the menu - yummers!
