Holy Guacamole

Back in the day, my college buds, Debbie and Patti, lived upstairs in the brownstone we shared on Riverside Drive in Covington, KY. It was an emerging yuppie enclave, lots of crown molding and 14-foot ceilings. They had these parties where all manner of folk showed up with a dish and a drink. It was a low-pressure high time. Debbie made the most amazing guacamole. She also looked like the Little Mermaid, but that’s not related to the guac. I loved the guac and the girl. I got the recipe for the guac; you figure out the rest.
