We'll answer all of those questions today.It's Almost Weekend Football Time! 7 Spins on Guacamole
Guacamole is creamy, rich, sometimes spicy, and always satisfying. Some would argue it deserves a food group all its own. Not that you need an excuse to eat or make more guacamole, but football-watching is as good as any. Here are seven interpretations of our green friend.Mixed Review: Frontera Guacamole Mix
I tried out Rick Bayless's Frontera Guacamole Mix last weekend, when I was hosting a barbeque and didn't have time to make guac from scratch.

And, more importantly, were my guests fooled into thinking I made it myself?Super Bowl Partytime: How to Build an Edible Stadium
Our mission was to construct an all-edible stadium (well, minus the cardboard box and foil) with foods we'd actually want to eat.

It also became a race against the clock to finish before the guacamole turned brown! Check out our step-by-step building of the stadium.Game Day Recipe Roundup: Guacamole
Ah, guacamole. The piece de résistance of the dips while you're glued to the game.

It's pretty rare that Serious Eaters have a bone to pick with Trader Joe's. The grocery chain practices good grammar, is especially considerate to grandmas, and is sorta like Disney World, only better. But when it starts stocking frozen avocado halves, we may have a problem. According to Mike Hess of True/Slant, the shrink-wrapped halves are no bigger than limes (first mistake).
