Guacamole Dip....THE Thing To Have In Athens Night Out


































Guacamole is a very common dip around the Texas - Mexican area. There are many ways to make it. My easiest and quickest way goes like this.






 You will need:
Serves many as a dip.
-  2 ripe avocados.
-  Juice of one lemon.
-  2 onions quartered.
-  1 tomato quartered.
-  Salt, freshly ground black pepper.
-  1 tsp. cayenne pepper.
-  1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce.
-  1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Method:
-  Cut the two ripe avocados lengthwise in two. Throw away the seed, scrape all the avocado out into the blender bowl.
-  Combine the rest of the ingredients into the same blender bowl and blend using the vertical hand held blender.
-  Regulate salt and cayenne and transfer to the serving bowl.
-  Cut as many tortillas, pita bread into triangles and toast them. You can use chips or crisps (depending who's reading this) if you wish.
        
Add cap
-  Refrigerate the guacamole and keep bread warm.
-  Serve on a nice big in diameter plate with the guacamole bowl in the middle.
-  Put the toasted bread around the guacamole bowl.
Serve with your favorite cocktails,
Stelio

Bamia Mafroukeh--Ladies fingers with beef or lamg -Taste of Sudan.

S udan is the largest country in Africa. Lately there was a quarrel between the North and South (Juba). The reason: Oil. Chevron and other Petroleum companies found lots of Oil reserves in the South and so the fight started. I personally visited the village of Bentu, in the South during one of my visits to Chevron Oil Company in the South. As all countries, the Sudan also has its local foods. A very popular one is Molokhia which grows only in summer. Bamia, in Arabic, lady's fingers or internationally known as Okra can be readily found all year round. Bamia Mafroukeh is a delicious food eaten with the Sudanese bread called Kisra. The term Mafroukeh is act of breaking down the bamia when it well cooked to turn it into a thick, soup.
