I am working my way through the foods that are listed in the book 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die by Mimi Sheraton. This is called my 1,000 Foods to Eat Project. Guacamole was food #12 on my quest to prepare and eat each of the foods listed in the book.

It was exciting to me to read about this variation on the traditional guacamole, so I knew I had to try it!
