1. I suspect you meant to say "dyed in the wool"--NOT died. n/t

[procon]

2. What? Was he smothered to death in a fleece or a bag of yarn?

I has no idea what you're trying to say, but carry on!

[brooklynite]

4. You missed the critical @ASKPOTUS question about guacamole with peas...

[procon]

9. Noooo! Peas? Yuck... pffft... gag... wheeze...

Seriously, who does that!

14. Green Pea Guacamole

Dominic Perri for The New York Times

Adding fresh English peas to what is an otherwise fairly traditional guacamole is one of those radical moves that is also completely obvious after you taste it. The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip. They also intensify the color of the green avocado — and help the guacamole stay that way. Pea guacamole keeps its bright hue in the fridge for a few days without turning brown around the edges. A good dose of lime juice helps this cause. This dish, a collaboration between ABC Cocina’s chef-owner, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and his chef de cuisine, Ian Coogan, is the best kind of greenmarket tweak upon a classic.

17. Well, no wonder... New York City?!

What could a guy named Jean-Georges Vongerichten know about making an authentic Mexican guacamole? If his Green Pea Guacamole sits in the fridge "for a few days", you know he's done it wrong. I can buy a pound of fresh guacamole at our big, local Mexican supermarket where the girls in the takeout section are making it up on the spot. I grab a package of warm, handmade tortillas and a big bag of fresh corn chips and head home to grill some fajitas or quesadillas. Then me and the mister scarf up all that delicious guacamole. It's usually gone before bedtime, but occasionally there a bit left to top a couple of breakfast burritos... no peas to be found, ever.

[Hekate]

37. That's just disgusting. Mash up those ripe avos leaving some lumps, sprinkle in garlic powder...

...some salt and lime juice. Toast up some flour tortillas to make chips, or use tongs to toast corn tortillas in the flame of your gas stove. Enjoy!

Peas? Ew.

[pinboy3niner]

5. You're baaad

[Arugula Latte]

3. The only acceptable ingredients for guacamole:

fresh avocados
tomatoes, seeded and chopped
red onion, chopped finely
A LOT of cilantro, chopped
fresh lime juice
salt

Mush and mix. Voila.

[Prism]

6. Nooooooo, not cilantro!

=(

[Arugula Latte]

7. Well, I am not among the soap-taste afflicted.

Cilantro tastes like rainbows, moonbeams, and sunsets to me.

[Prism]

10. You have my unending jealousy

I love Latin American and Asian food, but must always be perked for little bits of venomous green poking out of an entree' like leafy rattlesnakes coming for my mouth.

[procon]

11. loves me lots of cilantro, I puts it in 'most everything.

Its really cheap in California so I buy 3-4 big bunches for $1 every week. Right now I have a some sprigs floating in a big jug of spiced sun tea.

[pinboy3niner]

8. It was inevitable that the Cooking & Baking Nazis would show up

[Arugula Latte]

16. No guacamole for you!

[lovemydog]

51. But they gave him the Nobel Peas Prize

[pinboy3niner]

52. I didn't peaserve it

[think]

12. I add fresh garlic and a jalapeno to that mix.

[DFW]

13. Sí Sí Señor to the ajo (garlic) and jalapeños

But inxay on the avocados.

If I want to eat something that tastes like soap, I'll bite into a bar of Ivory while in the shower.

[Iliyah]

15. White onions work as well or a mixture.

Tomatoes gutted.

Sounds gooooooddddd!

[calimary]

24. In casa de calimary it's mashed avo, salt, and a splash of lemon. Simple. All you need.

Neighborhood guac. Avos fall off the tree onto the ground. Give a few of the strays a new home - mashed up in a nice big bowl with chips or even crackers!

If you really wanna go extra sinful - add a couple of tablespoons of mayo. Or not. Lawry's seasoning salt will help, too instead of plain ol' salt.

[truebluegreen]

29. Speaking from my lofty position as an actual resident of Mexico

that is the traditional recipe, except we use lime, not lemon. Spice is added to taste with salsas on the side, or for the adventurous, with the dried seeds from a bowl on the table. Those are not for the faint of heart.

[betsuni]

18. So there's no peas agreement? nt

[pinboy3niner]

19. That's what I heard on the podcast

[betsuni]

22. I missed the announcement, I was taking a pea.

[pinboy3niner]

23. I caught part of it before I had to split

[pinboy3niner]

25. On Kerry's flight to the peas conference, try as he might they just wouldn't upgrade him...

...to a seat with more legume.

[betsuni]

27. But he's bean using crutches, he needs more legume!

[pinboy3niner]

28. Kerry works very hard for whirled peas

Just not in guacamole. Maybe that's why they sabotaged his bike.

[betsuni]

31. Yes, whirled peas and hummus rights are very important.

He should be careful not to falafel his bike again.

[pinboy3niner]

34. The price of freedom is eternal vegelance

[pinboy3niner]

Praise Allah!

[betsuni]

[pinboy3niner]

50. Not to mention your other assessories

[GeorgeGist]

46. If you have to eat your peas ...

you might as well do it with guac.

[pinboy3niner]

53. I heard the pea guac recipe was all his fault

THANKS, OBAMA!1!!

[betsuni]

54. Yeah, I hear he's always appeasing the enemy!!!111
