Yum! I like seeing all the variety. And building tacos is fun. My pickled onions would be good in that line up. 😁

Thanks - it’s definitely a fun evening. Pickled onion is a great idea; I sauteed some onions and scallions because i used to order grilled scallions at restaurants. Also had chopped raw onion and scallions.

Taco night was always fun night at our house. Homemade guacamole is pretty simple. Baked potato was another fun night. Anytime everyone gets to custom design their own dinner is a success. That layout looks delicious.

thank you! I have made guacamole before and should do it again. Sometimes it feels that store-bought is cheaper than buying only 2 avocados and 1-2 tomatoes although I think 2 avocados and 1 lime would be enough.

.Personally, I won't make it without adding diced jalapenos. Anything after that just depends on my mood.

In my opinion, the minimum requirements for guacamole are avocado, onion, lime. After that, add whatever you want. Occasionally, I'll see avocados 10 for $1 in the grocery store -- although admittedly haven't looked in a month or two. But that's the best time for guac .

LOL...my typo made a big splash here. I meant to type 10 for $10. That's what they advertise in the local Jewel store sometimes. Correcting my original post.

There are 2 different avocados for sale here in South Florida. Hass which are smaller and the Bigger Green Avocados which to me have more meat in them. You can find the Hass at the lower price like 10 for $10.00, but the bigger ones are usually around $2.50 to $3.00/ each unless you are like me and have my own tree which then cost nothing during season which is usually late June to early August.
Walking the neighborhood with my dog in the last 2 weeks have seen many tress that have dropped a lot prematurely due to the heavy rainstorms that eventually become Tropical Storms Arthur and Bertha. Also, I found a neighbor who planted a Hass tree a few years ago and is producing its first crop this year. I have been talking to these owners like I did with the Mango tree owners about purchasing some of their crop when they start to drop. I get angry with many people who think it's ok to come onto my property and pick the mangos and other fruits off my trees without asking first. I had a huge crop of Mangos on my large tree going this year and came home to find most of my crop gone from the lower branches one day (close to 50 mangos). The only ones left are so high up that the squirrels, iguanas and birds get to them before they fall or when they fall they break open due to the height.
To me it's ok if they fall on public land like the sidewalks, swales, and alleys to claim them, but not to walk into private yards and pick them up or pick them off the tree.
