Footnotes

• Choosing the right avocados is 99% of making awesome guacamole.  The avocado is perfectly ripe when you can gently press in on the wide end of the fruit.  Too soft is no good.  Too hard is also no good... if there's no give at all, it's not ready! 

• For smoother guacamole, mash avocados and/or use a food processor to combine all ingredients. For chunkier guacamole, chop avocados into 1/2 inch pieces and combine all ingredients gently by hand.
