Today is National Spicy Guacamole Day. You can spice up your life by adding lots of chilies, jalapenos, cumin, or red chili flakes to your favorite guacamole recipe. Even though I live in southern Arizona, where guacamole is very popular, I'm not a fan, probably because I don't like avocadoes. What about you? Do you like guacamole?
The other fun holiday is National Pickle Day. I do like pickles. I'm not sure which pickles are my favorite. When I was a kid, I didn't like dill pickles. Now I like them, especially on a cheeseburger. What is your favorite kind of pickle?
To celebrate these holidays, I'm giving away a copy of the first book in my Kellersburg series, HOMETOWN PROMISE, to one person who leaves a comment.

What fun holidays, Merrillee! I'm just the opposite--not a pickle fan but love guacamole.
ReplyDeleteYeah, everyone around here love guacamole. I keep trying it just to see if my taste has changed. Nope!
DeleteI'm a rather boring eater and not a fan of either guacamole or pickles! (Do not enter me into the contest as I already have the book.)
ReplyDeleteMary, I'm with you on the guacamole.
DeleteNot a guacamole fan but love pickles
ReplyDeleteSheila, you and I think alike. :)
DeleteI enjoy both avocados and guacamole, as well as pickle! I used to can pickles when we had a large garden. Fun post, Merrillee!
ReplyDeleteBecky, my mom used to can pickles, too. I've never tried canning anything, even though I had a big garden. I just remember how much work it was.
DeleteI love pickles, both sweet & dill. I have learned to enjoy guacamole, especially since moving to Texas!
ReplyDeletePam, pickles are definitely good, sweet and dill. I like bread and butter pickles, too. Can't learn to like guacamole.
DeleteI love avocados and guacamole (as long as it's not too oniony). I also love dill pickles. Not a sweet pickle fan.
ReplyDeleteTabi, interesting that you don't like sweet pickles. I loved those long before I liked dill pickles.
DeleteMerrillee, I actually love guacamole. My husband makes ours. In fact that’s part of what we had Sunday. We have a group that goes out to eat after church each Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves pickles. Any kind. I can take them or leave them except dill relish in things. I know you don’t have any other items on here, but there’s one thing we like, It’s spicy pickled garlic. You have to try them before you judge them. 😊
Kathy, does the garlic taste like garlic even though it's pickled?
DeleteYes, it has a garlicky taste, but nothing like eating a raw garlic clove. The spices add just the perfect combo.

ReplyDeleteThe first time I ate guacamole was in Bud and Jeanne's buffet in Casper WY in 1975!
