Guacamole

It's so easy to make your own, why would you ever buy this? Total cost: $4.50

ok, here's how to make your own, fresh Guacamole:

Four ripe avacadoes (you don't have to squeeze them! they turn dark when they're ripe!)
one small tomato or 1/4 of a regular one, about two Tablespoons worth, fresh
1 lemon, juiced
one tablespoon minced onion, fresh
1/2 tsp cumin
If you don't own a decent chef knife, buy one, it'll be one of the best purchases you ever make.
Use your knife to cut each avacado all the way around, the pit will act as a sort of "stop" for the knife to guide against. Twist the cut avacado halves in opposite directions, and they'll separate easily with the pit remaining in one half. Use your knife and with a quick axe like motion, strike the pit with the sharp edge of your knife, it should stick in the pit. A gentle twist will release the pit from the flesh of the avacado's flesh. Now get a big spoon, and literally scoop out the flesh from the skin. So easy and fast! Repeat with your remaining avacadoes and put the green flesh in a medium to large sized bowl, you're going to mash it up in a minute like mashed potatoes after you do these next steps:

pour into the bowl with the avacado flesh the juice of one lemon. add the cumin, minced onion, and diced tomato. Now mash it up with a fork.

If you want, you can add salt, pepper, or whatever else you like to taste. Have fun with it!

Takes about five minutes if you take your sweet time. :) Enjoy!
