This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is celebrity chef and entertainer extraordinare, Lulu Powers. I just love following her blog The Entertainologist. She caters the chicest parties and gives the most wonderful tips whether it be a recipe, table setting or recap of one of her fabulous events. Last week Lulu had me mesmerized with an candy bar she set up for a party using unique glass containers and nostalgic candies. As Lulu says, “Everyone Loves A Candy Bar…Big or Small”…..Yummmmm!
Ingredients
3 medium Avocados
1 firm tomatoes, finely diced
1/2 white onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
optional sea salt and pepper to taste
- Open the avocados and and scoop out the flesh
- Mash the flesh with a fork
- Stir in the other ingredients
- If you store in the refrigerator, cover with plastic wrap. TIP: Make sure the plastic touches the guacamole so that air does not come in contact with it (it will turn brown!).
This weeks Book Club Monday focuses on a different story, YOUR story. Three friends Jill, Sally and Lisa run the site Safekeeping Stories. It is a website that helps people author and share or keep private their personal story so it will be preserved for future generations. The stories are based upon a three step model, Discover, Craft and Share. All stories are important, especially if they are personal and evoke emotion. The website is wonderful. I love the stories they have showcased. You can visit the site HERE.
