Recipe gone bad

Ever so often I get in the mood of cooking. I have a billion quite a few recipes or I look for them online. So about a month ago I chose a few of them to impress JA. I was damn ready! I bought the ingredients and started working. Although I will not disclose the name of the recipe, I will say it uses avocado. The recipe called for ripe avocado, and mine could have used a day or two, but I tasted it and it seemed fine. Actually, I think I tasted it.

I am about to finish seasoning the end product when I get this extreme tart, uncomfortable after taste in my mouth. Terrible. I try salt, pepper, sugar (I was trying to come up with something!), and nothing. God wanted to spare JA the torture of eating that and sent him on a dinner meeting, or something like that. I decided to suck it up and eat it. And I did. 2.DAYS.IN.A.ROW.

Fast forward to this week. I decided to try it again. I tasted the avocado. Nice. And there I went again. Lo and behold, same taste. Poor JA was so exited to try it. He actually thought I was exaggerating. He tasted it. Seemed fine... that is until 5 seconds later. Damn. He's a good sport and ate it. It seemed like we were on a fast eating contest. We were chewing, swallowing, quickly enough as to not give our taste buds enough time to realize we were poisoning them.

Right there I decided to erase the damn recipe. For all those who reviewed the recipe and thought it was bland: come to my house and I'll let you taste a non-bland recipe. And you can take all the leftovers. PLEASE TAKE THEM.
