"There's this tunnel near your flat with the most amazing graffiti!" raved my friend Rohan. "You have to see it!" And so I found myself, damp London air leaking through my coat, lilting song of Rohan's South African-accented chatter in my ears, walking down Waterloo Road en route to this 'tunnel.' We turned on Lower Marsh, a street I must have walked down a thousand times. Halfway down, we stopped in front of a recessed passageway I'd never noticed. There, painted over the entry of an ominous-looking cement tunnel were the words, "Graffiti artists will not be prosecuted beyond this point." "Ready?" Rohan asked. "Yep," I said, shoving my mittened hands further into my pockets. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw inside. Incredible, detailed, truly artistic images splashed over the walls. Artists clad in ripped jeans, some with gauged ears, spraying veritable masterpieces onto the walls. I was stunned. Every ephemeral work was astounding. Some of the finest works though, were...

Last Cinco de Mayo, I entered a guacamole cook-off here in Pittsburgh. The competition was fierce, but I felt confident that I had the winning combination of tangy citrus, spicy peppers, mouth-watering sea salt, and the ever complex, uniquely textured avocado. Of course, I guarded my recipe closely, and to this day refuse to tell my final secret ingredient, but I was surprised by the amount of people who were willing to gab about theirs! I listened intently, and soaked up all of the tips from the other loose-lipped cooks - dose your knife in lime juice before chopping the avocado to avoid browning, grate a Spanish onion and mix in just before serving, dice up a green tomato and add for subtle crunch effect. I wished I could have jotted down everything they were saying, but gladly, "Guac Off" did that for me. Capturing not only hints and tips from guac experts, this super-portable, hard back little tome also delves into the history and legacy of the avocado. Interesting and enticing... See less
