GUACAMOLE AUTÉNTICO
Here's the real deal: a guacamole recipe so authentic, you can almost hear the Mariachis singing.
Ingredients
• 4 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, peeled and seeded
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 ripe, medium Roma tomato, seeded, diced
• 1/2 cup minced sweet white onion
• 2 serrano chilies, seeded and minced
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
• 4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• Hot pepper sauce
• Sea salt, to taste
• White pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Cut avocado in large chunks and mash coarsely in large bowl with a fork.
2. Add remaining ingredients and blend gently; leaving some small chunks is fine.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more pepper sauce, salt and pepper if desired.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
Mud Pie:
First Layer
1 pkg oreos crushed (aboutt 3 C.)
6 T. sugar
1 cube melted butter
Mix together and press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan
Second Layer
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 C. powdered sugar
1 heaping C. cool whip
Mix together and spread on oreo layer
Third Layer
1 large pkg chocolate instant Jello pudding mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant Jello pudding mix
5 C. milk
Whisk together, pour on cream cheese layer
Fourth Layer - Cool Whip
(Tiffany had written 6 oz. pkg of cream cheese and I am assuming it means 8 oz. However, the second layer was quite stiff and hard to spread on the cookie layer - it might need less cream cheese or more Cool Whip).

Senator: Solomon ‘represents best of Montana’

(SANA’A, Yemen) – A Columbus High School student nominated by U.S. Senator Jon Tester has been accepted to the prestigious U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.
Tester today said Andre Solomon, 17, “represents the best of Montana.”
An All-Conference award recipient in football and track, Solomon is very involved in school activities. He serves as Vice President of the Columbus High School Key Club, is Senior Patrol Leader for his Boy Scout Troop, and is a member of the school’s Jazz and Pep Bands.
Solomon also enjoys shooting, hunting, and fishing.
“Montanans are no strangers to service to country, and Andre is proof that that value still runs deep,” said Tester, a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. “For his dedication to country and his commitment to his ideals, folks across our state can be rightfully proud of Andre and his family. I know I am.”
Solomon is one of 31 Montana students Tester nominated to military academies based on their academic achievement, leadership, community service and participation in extracurricular activities.
