Well, it can be\u2013 if you pull out a food processor<\/a>\"\", avocado pitter\/slicer<\/a>\"\", a couple of knives<\/a>\"\"\"\", cutting board<\/a>\"\"\"\", lime juicer<\/a>\"\"\"\", herb chopper<\/a>\"\"\"\", garlic press<\/a>\"\", mixing bowl<\/a>\"\"\"\", and chip & dip set<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

A small kitchen can be a blessing because you quickly learn you don't need all that stuff to whip up something fresh and delicious. To make a batch of guacamole I use a cutting board, my granite mortar & pestle<\/a>, a fork for mixing, spoon for tasting,\"\" and a favorite knife<\/a>\"\". When it's ready, I bring it to the table in that beautiful hunk of granite! <\/p>\n
