Dinner tonight is a cooking dinner. I'm not exactly tired of
No-cooking dinners and the heat hasn't stopped yet, but tonight it was time for a cooking dinner because my next no-cooking dinner is waiting on an avocado which is not ripening as quickly as I thought it would.
Life Skills Hint (I'm a freaking font of useful information, here -- last one was, IIRC, about the flushing of
toilet-incompatible items): Do not attempt to use a less-than-ripe avocado for guacamole. You will be disappointed with the results, no matter how much you want guacamole right now and no matter how much you claim that you will not care that the avocado is too firm to mash with a fork. Trust me. You will be disappointed. It is far, far better to wait on the avocado until it is ready to be used. Firm, near-crunchy avocados taste like ass. Wait for the opportune moment -- it'll be worth it.
( Now, on to the dinner. )
