Dan's Famous Guacamole

It would not be a summer get-together without Dan’s famous guacamole. Start this half an hour before the guests arrive. First choose the music for the event. Musicals are preferred – perhaps a Gershwin production or a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, or Oklahoma, or possibly Frank Sinatra or Eartha Kitt. Have the music playing while you make this.

3 ripe avacados
1/4 to 1/3 of a medium sized white onion
generous handful of cilantro
2 jalepanos (cooks other than Dan may want to start with one, Dan may choose to use 3)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
one tomato, cut into very small pieces
juice of 1/2 lemon (optional depending on the flavor of the avacados)

Mash the avacados (naturally removing rind and pits) In mini food processor mince onion, cilantro, jalepano and salt. Mix in with avacado. Ask your wife to test it for proper seasoning. Squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lemon if desired. Add tomato.
