I’m joining a fantasy football league.
This is strange because I don’t particularly care for football. I don’t have even a vague comprehension of football plays or stats. And I don’t know (nor do I care to learn) the difference between “off sides” and “false start”.
What I do seem to have developed, is a bizarre obsession for watching organized sports and the corresponding commentary that accompanies them. I’ll watch anything. Football, Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Soccer, Bicycling, Competitive Juggling. I just can’t seem to get enough of the competition.
I just finished the 3 week television marathon that is the Tour De France and now football training camp is already here.
I’m looking forward to football season. Waking up at 7:00am on Sunday, turning on the early morning analysis and watching it 4 times on repeat before noon kick-off. I want to put on my slippers and my comfy jeans and my purple long-sleeved t-shirt (Go Vikes!) and get psyched about meat heads and their barbaric needs to hit each other. I can’t wait for Jimmy and Terry and Howie to tell me who the better team is going to be and then be dead wrong about it.
I can’t wait to make homemade guacamole.
- 3 Avocados, peeled, halved & seeded
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
In a large bowl place the scooped avocado pulp and lime juice, toss to coat. Drain, and reserve the lime juice, after all of the avocados have been coated. Using a potato masher add the salt, cumin, and cayenne and mash. Then, fold in the onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and garlic. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved lime juice. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour and then serve.
