When I was a small human I received an Itty Bitty Baby for Christmas. Unlike the elder American Girl Dolls, Itty Bitty's did not come with a name or back story. My mom asked me what I would like to name her. I quickly declared, "Meredith Junior"!! to which my mom replied "Why?" I simply answered, "Why not?!?" She has often told me she knew in that very moment I was going to require a special kind of parenting. {After last week's post I now suspect it was that very day she developed our private sign language.}
Let's flash forward nearly one quarter of a century to present day America. Meredith Junior is safely stored in my parent's attic, my mom has not figured out how to face time me private sign language and I am loving the Portland Sunshine!! Since Cinco de Mayo has already passed and Memorial Day is just around the corner, I feel it is safe to say guacamole season has officially kicked off!
While I love a traditional mash-up of chunky avocados, tomatoes and a few spicy seasonings, I also like to mix it up. Why??? Why not??
Kiwi Guacamole is the Kate & William of the dip world.
Unexpected at first but something you just can't live without.
The perfect marriage.
For your sake I removed my analogy for each ingredient and person of the Cambridge family. Per request, I will share this with you. Over a drink.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds nothing like my typical guacamole. For the record, I believe it's always guacamole season. Maybe I'll be brave and try this recipe- it looks easy!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I love it. I think we should enjoy this over margaritas.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to try this! Sounds and looks so amazing! also, I love little Mere stories :)
ReplyDeleteI guess avocado is a fruit that always gets separated from its friends so maybe this makes sense. I'm intrigued that's for sure.
