We went to a Mexican restaurant tonight. Da kids ordered guacamole -
they always do that. I don't know why. It always tastes bland and
boring. How hard can it be to mix up some exciting guacamole? My plate
wasn't that great either. It made me sleepy while I was eating it.

I never cared for it, but we made homemade guacamole the other day.  I
liked it, but only because I loaded it up with cilantro.
Unfortunately,
I seem to also have mild allergy to avocados.  Just like bananas, they
make my throat and mouth itch.  Bummer.

Make up your mind, is it a half a plate or a 3rd of a plate of Mexican?

The guacamole that's served here features the avocado as the
main flavor component. That's silly since avocado doesn't taste like
much. My guacamole would be garlicky, spicy, salty, with a heavy hit of
umami. It would have a little sugar in it, of course. It would not be a
boring gringo guack.

Gringo what?  If you asked a Mexican, you'd be considered a gringo.

Guacamole only requires avocados, onion, salt, jalapenos, cilantro and

I don't consider "gringo" to be a racist term. It could be I suppose,
but I don't use racist terms. Da Hawaiians ain't into racism. You see
racial threats behind every houseplant. That's so weird. I don't
consider "American" to be a derisive term either. When I talk about
Americans I'm also talking about myself.
"Mainland" simply refers to the 48 contiguous states. You live on an
island, don't you? What do people on your island call that big mass of
land a short distance away? I assume you call it the "mainland."
Obviously, you're the type of person that lives in fear of many things.
My condolences.
