2 tbsp yellow onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp jalapeno or Serrano chiles, minced
2 large ripe avocados, peeled & seeded
2 tbsp plum tomatoes cored & finely chopped

Kosher or Coarse salt
Place cilantro, onion, chiles and salt in a medium-sized bowl and mash it with the back of a kitchen spoon. Add avocado, tomato and lime juice and mash all ingredients together. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serves two.
Check out Dos Caminos for brunch, lunch. dinner or drinks while in NYC! My fave is brunch, and the Prickly pear Margarhita is a MUST!!

Eat up!
1 medium zucchini
5 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1 or 2 jalapeno or Serrano peppers, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 chopped cilantro, to desired taste
1 to 2 avocado, ripe but not to soft cut into tiny dice
3 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste
Rice, tortilla, boston or romaine lettuce for serving is desired.
1. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, and drain in a colander for 15 minutes. Rinse if the zucchini tastes very salty, and drain on paper towels.
2. Combine the tomatoes, chiles and cilantro in an attractive bowl. Combine the zucchini, avocado and lemon or lime juice in another bowl. Taste and add salt if desired. Add to the tomatoes, and toss together gently. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve on lettuce leaves as a salad, or serve over rice.
Advance preparation: You can assemble this several hours ahead. It will even keep for a day in the refrigerator, but it will become watery. This isn’t a bad thing if you are serving it over rice, with the juices poured over.
Approx: 6 servings.
Well I just came home from a scrumptious italian dinner, when I flipped open my laptop to find this link on the web, makes me want to puke!
Cheeseburger in a cab, excuse me? WTF is this shit?
The good ol Germans created this repulsive absurd idea for a quick hunger fix. Meat should never be kept and consumed from a can, the grade of meat if meat at all must be below rat. I could go on, click the link below to see this disgusting idea for yourself. I presume it will be removed from all shelves within months unless people are asking for disease and sickness.
Barf!
