So, I’m not a sports guy (understatement).  My main thing is music (as if I really need to tell you that)…

Well, I’m in Eugene, Oregon, and regardless of my general sports indifference, I still support the Ducks!  I went to the University of Oregon for a stint (I’m a PhD dropout if you’re keeping score at home).  I’m going to a BCS National Championship Game party tonight, and I’ll be supporting the Ducks against the Auburn Whatstheirfaces…

I really don’t know what the Ducks’ chances are… football is the one played with the parabolic ball, right?  Anyway… what I’m bringing to the party is a super easy recipe…

“Go Ducks” Guacamole

serves 179 chips, give or take

Ingredients:

• oil for sautéing
• 1 medium onion
• 2 yellow peppers (you know, for the yellow)
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 Tbl taco seasoning (or to taste)
• 1 medium tomato
• 4-5 medium/large avocados
• 3/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• juice of 2 limes (2-4 Tbls or so?)
  

Steps:

1. Cut up onion, pepper & garlic.  Saute in 1-2 Tbl of oil until soft, slightly browned.  Add taco seasoning, stir.
2. Cut up avocados, add to large mixing bowl.  Mash avocados with a fork or large wooden spoon.
3. Add onion, pepper & garlic mixture.  Dice and add tomatoes.  Add chili powder and salt (to taste).  Add lime juice (to preserve).
   This is meant to be enjoyed immediately (or as close to it as possible)!  Do not make it “well in advance”…

Worst case… the Ducks lose.  Well, there will still be music to get us through (just hopefully not more from Sebastian Bach).

This is a mainly music-based blog. If you stumbled in on a recipe search, check out my other recipes at THIS LINK.

Update: this would also work really well for the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl XLV. :)
