Good Morning! It's Guac O'Clock

Don't ask why when I woke up this morning the first thing on my mind was the need for fresh guacamole. Going thru a mental inventory of what's left in the fridge - one avocado, check; onion, check; garlic, check; a lime on it's last legs, check; one last tomato, check... hmm.

Really just another excuse to use my cuisinart.

So I scrambled up some eggs with half of that tomato, some mushrooms, some chopped asparagus left over from the other night, parmesan - whipped up some fresh guac and a little toast. Damn I love Saturday mornings...

Also found this pic from last night - had an impromptu omakase at Sushi Saurus on 2nd Street in Long Beach. Really nice people. Pretty good stuff although I want to say I've had better - but I'm not going to judge too harshly being that I'd spent the previous 2 hours in a cigar lounge, so there's a pretty good chance my taste was slightly tainted by some sweet Nicaraguan tobacco.

Spanish mackerel, monkfish liver, bbq salmon (?), and this - live sweet shrimp, well it was alive before he cut off the head and fried it. Mmmm crunchy shrimp heads. . .
