Holy guacamole

Well it's been a few days since I've written anything due a number a events:

A horse themed party in which monster munch won the best dancer competition! His 'dance' involved wagging his finger and wiggling his bottom and has now (buoyed by the win) added the lyrics "no babies, no babies, no babies".

A trip to A&E for a phantom broken arm - mine, after a wet floor/slipping incident.  As eloquently put by one of the lovely ladies - I slipped in my own wet patch!

An impromptu night out which ended in table dancing.

Swimming lessons galore.

A wonderful BBQ at friends,

And a photo shoot with the  marvellous Billy of Precision Photography UK

Doing anything creative with the munches has been near impossible as when they haven't been down the pool or the beach they've been snoozing.  As a consequence you are being treated to my simple pimple guacamole recipe which I made for the BBQ we went to.
                                    
All you need is an avocado - make sure you find a squishy one or if you can't, leave it next to the bananas for a few days.

Take the flesh out, stick in half a teaspoon of easy peasy or lazy garlic (I have also used garlic purée in the past) and about the same of chilli flakes (or more if you want a real kick).

A good slug of olive oil and a good squirt of lemon juice (the oil is good for consistency and the lemon adds a tang and slows down the oxidation of the avocado).

Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz it up to the consistency you like (we go for smooth) and you are good to go.

I also made a yoghurt and mint dip which was just a heaped teaspoon of mint sauce (the stuff you put on lamb) into a pot of Greek yoghurt and give it a good stir.

Enjoy!
