Peeling garlic is no easy feat. The skin always seems to cling in the wrong places and can be difficult to peel off the clove. But in order to make Oliver’s favorite snack, guacamole, he must learn to do this. Last weekend, I showed him how, and he spent the better part of half an hour preparing enough garlic for a big batch of guacamole and\u00a0<\/em>the black beans and rice we made to go along with it. Such a determined guy!\"DSC_0031\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He needed a bit of help getting the garlic press started, but once it was warmed up, he could press it himself.\u00a0\"DSC_0043\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the scooping? No problem. He enjoyed scooping out every bit of the green flesh and adding it to the lime juice, red onion, and garlic before mashing it and adding a bit of sea salt. And voila! Guacamole.\u00a0\"DSC_0056\"<\/a><\/p>\n
