September 16, 2012 - National Guacamole Day!

Celebrate National Guacamole Day with the Avocado Diva

Yes, there truly is a day for each and every thing! 

Today (Sunday) is "National Guacamole Day". 

If you have never made guacamole - it's really pretty easy and very tasty and also quite good for you! It's a lower calorie dip than your average onion or ranch dip because avocados have way less fat than mayonaise or sour cream. (Plus - it's the "good" kind of fat.) 

That said - here is the simpliest recipe:

2 ripe avocados - smash them (with the skin off, and no pits)
sprinkle of lime or lemon juice
sprinkle of salt

Eat with tortilla chips

You can elaborate from there!  Most people have their "secret" recipe - and will add tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, etc.  

If you'd like to learn more, please visit the Avocado Diva's blog "52 Weeks of Guacamole" by clicking on this link. You'll find loads of recipes and tips and tricks for making guacamole dips.

Now - won't you share YOUR favorite guacamole tip?!! Leave us a nice note in the comments about your favorite.

This is a great place for any child to learn about self confidence. My son was in the Lil DragonRead More program and he learned about dealing with strangers and bullies, while at the same time having lot's of fun. Mr. Anderson is an excellent instructor. He has become a person my son will always admire and remember forever. Unlike many other places, the whole place has a great warm, family atmosphere. Mr. Anderson is not about making money, he is about helping children. My son is now in the Jr. program and we will encourage him to go has long as he wants. It is a great place for any child to make new friends too!

I think it's a good idea, which City Council meeting will you be at?
L June 10, 2013 at 08:49 am
BTW, you can send an email to citycouncil@ci.moorpark.ca.us and it will go into the public record.
L June 5, 2013 at 01:34 pm
Joey, if you go to the Moorpark City website, ci.moorpark.ca.us, and go to City Government (at theRead More top of the window), Contact Directory, you can send an email to the City Council, or anyone else you may want to query. HTH!

Agreed, Eric. He's a really nice guy - and always so helpful when I need city information.

And Dave Bobardt is really smart too, he probably knows all this stuff without having to look it up!

Those signs (at least the ones I have seen) are on the homeowner association property. Are homeRead More owners not allowed to post signs on their property about a garage sale? Just curious. I don't know the answer.
Tony May 17, 2013 at 09:16 am
I suspect due to slow business. When I go there I am the only customer. It seems that GrottaRead More Azura, on Princeton has closed as well.
