a mix of two of them in the Super's just unbelievable. Chill,

tomatoes in there to give it that Christmas eve.

I don't know why, because it's perfect as a guacamole,
and that's only one step away from being a soup.

also thickens itself, so I mean, it's just unbelievable. It's
like it's just like eating it looks it's like eating
espishly when you get macadamia nuts and there's a beautiful
taste and you're right, put chop up green asparagus tips

Yeah you have, and it would be absolutely beautiful. It
looks like what you're doing though in the recipe, which
you can get on our website, is that you've taken
the avocado, the capsicum, the chives, the sour cream, and
then you've made a bloody mary and tip that in there.
