Gaucamole

Everyone seems to have their own Gauc recipe here's mine, it's good, simple and very tastie:

1 large avocado
1 Tablespoon or so of Garlic powder
1/2 packet of lime powder, or 1 Tbsp of lime juice
1/2 tsp salt

Mash everything together and let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors blend together.

Helpful tip: Does everyone know how to cut an avocado? After watching my mom do it I thought I would ask. She started hacking into it like she was deboning chicken. It's really easy. First off, a ripe fruit has really wrinkly skin that is almost black and it's soft when you squeeze it, often they aren't ripe when you buy them, to ripen stick them in a paper bag and check them each day. Cut into it lengthwise, circling the pit. Pop it open, the pit will be left in one half, take your knife and sort pop it outta there. Take a soup spoon and scoop of the meat in one big scoop.
