Stop the Ikea Commercial - I want out!!!

Well today my life was most definitely an Ikea commercial - you know the one I'm talking about, the kitchen one with the wife tuning out her ranting husband who is going on and on about how he hates his job, he hates his life, he hates his boss... well yours truly was cast as the role of 'ranting husband'. For the first time in, quite literally, years I could completely relate to his rant. 

What does this have to do with food you ask?  Well after a day like today I did NOT want to go grocery shopping despite needing to and therefore I took stock of my fridge and decided that today was the perfect day to visit Margaritaville.

Ask yourself this - what do you do with avocados just this side of too ripe, sour cream, 1/4 of a red onion, lemon juice, corriander, smoked paprika, and minced garlic? You make 5 minute Guacamole!

Cut, scoop and mash 3 avocados (minus the too mushy bits)
add 3 tablespoons of sour cream - mix
finely dice 1/4 of a red onion - add and mix
a couple of squirts of lemon juice
a couple pinches of salt
cracked black pepper
a dash or two of smoked paprika and corriander
1/4 a teaspoon of minced garlic

Mix it all together and chop some pita bread into triangles.

Pour a margarita

Eat.

Enjoy!
