Let's Talk About Guacamole - Book of Elsa

There's a debate going on in the world about TRUE MEXICAN GUACAMOLE. Tomato or no Tomato?! 
Please pay attention. Very serious stuff going on here.... 
Original recipes contain tomato (mostly); However, I tend to find that it makes the guacamole too liquid-y also I don't like the red interfering with all the other shades of green.

The Mourning Bride - Zara

William Congreve by Sir Godfrey Kneller
Zara from Act iii Scene viii
Ha!
Who waits there?
As you’ll answer it, take heed
This Slave commit no Violence upon
Himself. I’ve been deceiv’d. The Publick Safety
Requires he should be more confin’d; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to
Confer with him. I’ll quit you to the King.
Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn’d;
Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d.
William Congreve
1670-1729

DIY - Under stairs Shelving Unit | Book of Elsa

It cost a lot less to make THIS than to buy new storage shelves from Ikea (hundreds less FYI). Not going to lie: it takes time. A lot of time. 2 weekends total. BUT the end product is fantastic and you have the satisfaction of owning something you built with your own hands.
Peace, xo
