I always want to make guacamole since Patty (trainee from Mexico) made it but somehow never happen because I thought it's difficult to make. But last week somehow Scott succed to motivate me to look for a recipe and try it even maybe it will be not good. And the result was almost perfect unless too much onion because Scott want it :P . Normally we must eat guacamole with tortila, but since we don't have it so we ate it with hard bread (not soft one like we find it usually on Indonesia, it was nice also with bread. I think it will be good also to eat guacamole with chips or something like that. Aga said it's not good to eat it in the morning because of the garlic but for me (as Indonesian :P)it will be good for light breakfast if you want it. It's so good to serve with bread and on cold condition and easy to make also. I put the recipe under this posting. Have a nice try and send me comment if you succes to make it also :)

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1 small tomato
1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice (or juice of 1 fresh lime)
salt and pepper to taste


Peel avocados and remove the pit
Peel and mince the onion and the garlic
Chop the tomato.
Mash the avocado in a bowl (fun for the kids) and then stir in the remaining ingredients.
Serve cold with tortillas

I always consider Lebaran/Idul Fitri Days as Family Days in my family and relatives eventhough most of us are Catholic. Everyone gather in my parents village in that day because in Indonesia most of long holiday that we have on these days. My parents hometown (read: village) only 15 minutes walking different each other so visit 2 relatives from my father and mother were really easy at that day. In Indonesia, we come to older people house (grandparents, uncle/auntie, cousins, neighbours etc), shake their hands, and congrat them. Especially for someone who really older than us (grandparents, uncle/aunties) we do more than just shake hands. In Indonesia, we do sungkeman (show respect by kneeling and pressing our's face to another's hands/knees) and they will give 'blessing' for us. That's why it have 'huge' meaning for people back to their hometown and congrat their relatives aka mudik.

Next Thursday is Lebaran/Idul Fitri Day, in Indonesia even we're not moslem we still visit another moslem friends/relatives/neighbours to celebrate and congrat them. I think this the beautifull part of this day.

Jadi dengan segala kerendahan hati saya mau ngucapin:
