Plan Ahead for Super Bowl Guacamole

Buy some avocados NOW so they are ready for the "Big Game" on Feb. 5.

Guac for the Big Game – PLAN AHEAD                       

Super Bowl Sunday has become known as “Super Guacamole Sunday.”  Which makes sense, right – since we’re watching an all-American game and eating a Mexican-inspired snack. Wait – what?!

Anyway – the thing is, we LOVE us some guacamole.

BUT – YOU – HAVE – TO – PLAN – AHEAD.

Avocados must be purchased ahead of time and allowed to ripen. Do not (under any circumstances…) eat that green sauce from a bottle they call “quick a mole” or some such nonsense. Plan ahead people!

Buy your avocados NOW—from me or from your farmers market—and put them in paper bags and cardboard boxes so they ripen from today (mid January) until the big game day (Feb. 5 this year).

Right now we have a Super Bowl guacamole kit – with the Avocado Diva’s special guacamole spice mix, a bottle of the super-manly Tapitio hot sauce and a special plastic knife to cut up your avocados (side note: when you cut avos with a plastic knife, they don’t turn brown as quickly).

But you gotta' order AHEAD of TIME – as we ship the just-picked avocados and they are hard. We can’t ship them soft or they would turn into guacamole – courtesy of the U.S. Post Office.

Best wishes friends! Raise a chip filled with guacamole on game day and enjoy this all American day!
