Hi evowidow,
I appreciate your wrap-up of this thread in response to my pointing out your attack on Steven. I can see how you may have seen things that way and I have no doubt that in your mind, your point of view is the true one. I understand completely and can assure you that I run into that all of the time - and I promise, what I'm about to suggest is nothing personal, but just downright good advice.
Here's the thing - around here, we attack issues, not other members, and while you may have felt that it was ok to attack Steven for the reasons you cite, I think you see now the flaw in that, as each observer has their own point of view in these things.
And that's where I come in - when passions overtake and confusions swell, I provide the objectivity.
In any case, I'm happy that you've publicly apologized to Steven and I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
So, let's move back on topic, shall we?
And that would be guacamole.
OK, first, and I cannot stress this enough -- if you ever visit the Southwest, please don't call it guac. I mention this for your benefit, and you're completely welcome in advance for this very important travel tip.
And I apologize, it hadn't occurred to me that anyone might be leaving out more than the garlic. Lemon, garlic, salt and green chile are a common concoction, used in a great many dishes, and one popular substrate to add includes avocados - that particular combination constitutes guacamole.
If green chiles aren't available to you, freshly minced jalapenos - the hottest you find (no no - hotter than that) - provide an acceptable substitute. Never skip the peppers and whatever you do, don't add tomatoes (unless you're from California or Colorado).
I think the best thing I can suggest for this is that you come and visit us. Many women drop by to complain about their menfolk to WifelyMon, and in no time at all, they tend to find me so charming that all complaints are forgotten and great fun ensues. Often that fun includes a nice round in the kitchen for our guests, and we could use that opportunity to allow various avocado and chile experiments that I've no doubt will prove enlightening as well as downright tasty.
And no worries, evowidow (if indeed that is your real name), we never skimp on the presentation of a nicely prepared snack. In fact, it's almost a certainty that we believe in that old adage, presentation is everything.
Oh, before I forget: Completely sorry about the totally botched delivery. I instructed them to use the GPS tracking feature on your phone, and had forgotten you weren't using an Evo. I completely overlooked that and for that, I sincerely apologize. I'm sure you'll understand that another old adage applies there: your fault, my fault, nobody's fault.
Cheers,
Your pal Early
PS - I'm going to overlook that whole random thing about one-upping your husband to novox78. I can see by the order of the posts that you were once again a little peckish and in need of snack when you posted that, so whatever that was about, let's just overlook it, move on, and stay on topic, mmmk?
