Guacamole Made For NFL Sundays

At the Twin Falls Times-News, guest columnist Rachel Gattuso sings the praises of guacamole: “I used to say that if I had to live off of one food for the rest of my life it would be potatoes, given their versatility and sheer deliciousness. Let’s face it: French fries, baked potatoes, gnocchi, potato pancakes … these are all foods that make us feel right about the world. Now, as my body stubbornly continues to retain fat with more tenacity than a bulldog clenching a T-bone steak, I’ve realized I much prefer avocados. And while I can’t imagine eating them every meal for the rest of my life, I do incorporate them into my recipes whenever possible because avocados have “healthy fat,” right? Truly, my greatest food weakness is the avocado, so of course I’m thrilled that September is upon us. What better excuse to devour tasty guacamole than while watching sweaty men crash into each other time and time again, flipping and contorting their bodies in ways that make me cringe out of pain then drop my jaw in amazement when they bounce back up just like jack-in-the-boxes. Sundays, dear readers, are for guacamole. More here. (AP file photo)
