Guacamole

Avocado is particularly troublesome to preserve because it oxidizes so easily...turning brown. A bit of lemon or lime might help a little, but dealing with a leftover half an avocado is a problem if you've just made a BLTA sandwich!

Fortunately, avocado vacuum seals really well. For best results, leave the pit in (it contains chemicals that also help prevent oxidation) and vacuum seal. This is my half avocado after two days. 

Of course you're still always better off using it right away, but in a pinch it saves pretty well in a vacuum, even cut in half.

Sneak Peek!!

Here is a Sneak Peek of the new website design...What do you think? Any suggestions?

Just thought I'd share a photo of these two little guys :)

I've been busy working on a brand-new website. The new site will have a variety of different shipping and payment options, which I am very excited about. As many of you know, on the current site it is difficult to ship internationally and combine shipping pre-payment. I'll post the new site sometime this week...The address is still the same: www.thevakshack.com . Have a great week!
