Welcome

My grandmother always said that the kitchen is the heart of the home and I agree. So, please, come on in, get yourself a cup of coffee or tea and sit a spell...

Evening Snack

The last time I made beans and subsequently bean tostadas, we had a little bean paste left over, so that Sunday night, for a snack, I added some cheese and nuked it. Bean dip.

I also made some guacamole. Together with some tortilla chips, we had a pretty good snack. Recipe for guacamole follows.

Guacamole

Ingredients:

one avocado, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
lemon juice
crumbled cooked bacon (optional)
1/2 small to medium onion, chopped
1/2 small to medium tomatoe, chopped fine
sea salt
sour cream

Steps:

1. Put avocado in bowl; . Mash it up, and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.

2. Add bacon, onion, and tomato. Season to taste with sea salt, but you probably will not need much if you used the bacon.

3. Mix it all up together, adding dollops of sour cream until you get where you like it.

Notes: If you want to spice it up, you can put in some minced green chili peppers, or some cayenne pepper. Even a little Tabasco will work. What ever you have.
