Jeez, you guys are worse than fabricators.
I need you to expand on that, since I don’t get it, but I’m also oddly proud.

As far as leaving out details & such.
Like:
“I need a box about this big (holds arms apart)”.
Me: "Sure, is this for elephants or a church mouse? 
"
“YOU’RE A JAGOFF!”
Me: “Yeah. But I’m a jagoff that can make boxes!”
Not everybody is like that though.

I had this conversation a few weeks ago with a friend who was frustrated with how vague the recipes from his favourite restaurant were
I told him “when you write documentation for your code at work, you probably don’t include the detail needed for someone who’s only taken intro CS to be able to easily apply your code. Restaurants recipes are like documentation for your code at work. Only needs enough detail for the experienced to understand”

butter is the overall winner because duck fat doesn’t work well when I’m trying to make something sweet

It sounds so good though. And the pic above with the carmelized onion & sage is gorgeous.

I live in the Midwest now, but I have a radiologist who has a weird obsession with Pittsburgh. He knows I’m originally from the area, so when he sees me in the hospital hallways he likes to yell " Beth, ya jagoff! How ya doing?"

This is very similar to my grandmother and my mother’s recipes. Very specific details like, " add just enough" and “until it feels right”
God. I can feel myself sliding down a rabbit hole …
oh boy!!!
I’ll admit when I been caught lacking.
That is me, now. Lacking. My knowledge of guacamole is very limited.

Now I know more! Thank you.

Not to many hard fast rules for quacamole as long as it has smashed avocados and garlic. Salt, pepper, tomatoes, onions, lime, cilantro etc… is all up to you. I absolutely love it…lol
Quick way is to smash the avocados, sprinkle with garlic salt and a little salsa.

I made some once as an experiment for lunch at work.
I used 1 avocado, squeeze of lemon juice, and black pepper.
It was really good, but we never really followed up with it.
I might play around with it a little. Family gets tired of my holy-frijole-mole.
(Blackbeans & stuff, mashed.)

@Brant_Drake I remember you posting a caprese salad with smoked tomatoes a little while ago. If you have it, would you mind sharing the recipe? It looked really good
