When I asked Alex what he wanted to eat for dinner on Super Bowl Sunday, all he told me was that he wanted guacamole. And then he forwarded me a recipe from Jose Andres that appeared on Tasting Table. When I asked him what he wanted to go with his guacamole, he said he didn't care and had no idea. All he really wanted was the guacamole. What can I say? He knows what he wants. And since he so rarely makes requests, I try to honor them. So we had guacamole and shrimp tostadas for dinner. I promise to post about the tostadas later today (if I have time). And Alex was a happy husband. Granted, he would have been even happier if the Redskins or the Ravens had made it to the Super Bowl, but beggars can't be choosers. At least he got what he wanted for dinner.
Recipe after the jump!
