Yum Yum!

I made guacamole! This really isn't a huge feat, but it was fun because I was really bored and thought, "I would like some guacamole" and I had all day to go to the store and make it homeade. It was basically all I did last Friday. Jealous?
Ok, I also made this. It is Southwestern Pasta, and it is the first step in my new addiction to colorful and herb-infused pasta. Yes, I am rapidly turning into a PASTA SNOB. So here's the deal, at the Farmer's Market in Mobile, there is the usual assortment of vegetable stands, and then you discover the PASTA stand. It is life changing! There are about 30 varieties of homeade dry pastas for sale, and they are all really cool, like "lemon basil fettucine." The picture doesn't do my southwestern blend justice. What I also really like, is that when you buy your pasta, they put a recipe in the bag too. The only downside to being a Pasta Snob is the price. For a box of boring fettucine at Wal-Mart..... 77 cents. Exciting, Beautiful, Handcrafted Pasta...... $4.50 for 1/2 lb. Being a snob is pricey! So sadly, this will probably be my one and only awesome pasta experience.
