Guacamole!

Yummy! Today we learned how to make guacamole on the Wake Up With Al Show...awesome! Let's figure out in a minute how this is weather related, but first....let's set the scene:

It's about 6:30 am, chef guy and Al are standing over a huge table of chopped up food and avocado's. Chef guy shows us how to cut open an avocado and pull out the pit with a knife. Then chef guy shows how to scoop out the "meat" of the avocado and puts it all into a bowl. This all takes about 3 precious minutes of my time trying to identify what the weather is going to be like today. He then teases the next segment with "we're going to make 3 different kinds of guacamole" after the break, and it's off to a commercial and another several minutes pass. The sun begins to break the horizon out my window, it's going from dark to light...still no weather.

We come back from the break and it's just a bit of weather and right back to the Food Network...I mean Weather Channel. Now we make 3 different kinds of guacamole and eureka....one of them has pumpkin seeds in it! This must be the weather tie in because Halloween is certainly a weather event, with the trick-or-treating for the kids and all.

So I've seen almost 10 minutes of the WC and most of it has been about food, commercials, and more food. Yeah, there was a little bit of weather, but not just weather.

You know, I just can't think of the last time I woke up and thought"man, I could really go for some Mexican right now"...

That's why we tune in....it's a weather channel!!!!
