The recipe for guacamole I found on the internet - just googled guacamole recipe and there it was - I only tinkered the recipe just a bit.  

                                    Classic Guacamole

2 ripe fresh avocados, peeled, seeded and mashed with a fork in a bowl; 1-2 tblspns. freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tsp. minced garlic, 1 small tomato, chopped; 1/2 cup minced onion; 1/4 tsp. ground cumin; 3 drops hot pepper sauce; 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves; 1/2 tsp. sea salt and a dash of white pepper.  Mix this up well and transfer it to a food processor.  Pulse away until the mixture looks smooth.  Put into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Avocados, I have read, contain the best kind of fat - the HDL kind - that brings the bad kind of cholesterol (LDL) to your liver where it is destroyed and eliminated!  Yes! 

I did force myself to go outside as soon as the pattering rain let up and worked in the wetness on the greenhouse sides, stapling up plastic sheeting all around and laying boards on the bottom of the plastic.  Also dragged/carried the bale of straw into the greenhouse and put it on a sheet of plastic at the north end of chicken house.  Then dragged the bag of wood chip mulch into the greenhouse, where I intend to spread it around her cage and create a nice floor for me to walk on.  I anticipate spending some time in there with my gardening pretty soon.  It began to rain then, and I went inside with Pepper.  My back and shoulder are very sore now.  All that remains of construction is to apply bracing to the side and front walls, and across the ceiling panels for strength and stability. 

Today, I hope that is what I get accomplished.  The temperature is falling and winter-like conditions will soon be upon us.  I never got the leaf blowing done, nor all the clean-up of the garage.  But there may be better weather still to come after this blast.    The guacamole recipe I got off the internet was superb, and so sprightly.  What a treat to go with our fried tortilla strips, breaded, fried chicken strips, black olives, sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes and the really good, refried beans John made after I cooked up a batch of beans all afternoon.  I went through the cupboards and found that I had no black beans at all.  So I cooked up what I had - soy beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans and great northern beans.  To 3 cups of mixed beans and 6 cups of water in the slow cooker, I added a lot of chopped cilantro, salt to taste, a few dashes of hot pepper sauce and one tomato, chopped.  Then John does something with some of them in a frying pan.  This must be the refried thing.  I don't know what he does to them, but they are good.  I froze the rest - two containers for next time.
