THIS IS GOOOD... Guacamole slightly different

Ingredients

avocado               1 large
tomato                 1 large
garlic                    to taste, I used about 6 cloves
habaneros             to taste, I used 3, if not available jalapenos is fine, or dried chili flakes
salt                        to taste
yoghurt                250 gr, I used firm Greek style yoghurt
tortilla chips        as many as you wish

Preparation

Mix the cut up avocado, the chopped tomato the finely chopped garlic, and the very finely chopped habaneros and stir well, add salt.

Taste.

Add the yoghurt stirring well.

Spoon it out with the chips.

NOW, if you have some leftovers! I had, and I ate it with Arab flat bread.

Cut the bread open, spread the guacamole on one side and add slices of ham. I used York ham
and some soft Italian cheese. I used Bocconcini because I had nothing else. But I think Buffalo Mozzarella will be nice too.

Close the bread and enjoy.

BIASA TOCH… (as usual)

When my friend's four-year old daughter had to be hospitalised and he was only able to look at her through a glass partition because the room had to be kept germ-free, he was very upset when he observed a stray cat cleaning itself in that "antiseptic" ward.

The nurse did not understand his point and why he was upset. Ok, it was a provincial hospital, and happened some years ago, but still. Biasa toch…

And when I was admitted with dengue to a Jakarta hospital, I asked why the intravenous needle the nurse was replacing, sticky with blood, was thrown into the waste basket where I had put empty Aqua bottles and used tissue paper, the answer was that the trash would be sorted downstairs. Biasa toch…

Luckily for the cleaning staff assigned to sort the medical from the non-medical trash, and who might by accident prick themselves on the bloody needle, I am not an AIDS sufferer, but I do not envy him his job.

Next time you ask for a daily necessity in your favourite supermarket or corner toko and the answer is kosong, sorry, we're out of stock, think biasa toch…

The sorry policeman, who maintains a steady flow of traffic on his intersection by directing those who want to turn right to drive straight on, does not understand that to clear his node results in more blockage somewhere else, because he cannot see that his part of the road is but a small cog in the metropolitan traffic system. Moreover, his experience is of a continuing, and worsening, traffic congestion, so why even think of possible improvements. Biasa toch…

All these instances are the result of forced rote learning, not so much because it's the system, but more because the teacher would not know how to answer questions about alternatives.

Huddled masses, shake off your tinted glasses and punch a hole in your box, let in the light of an alternative view and nurture the spark of creativity that is also inside YOU.

Make imaginative thinking and constructive criticism your own BIASA (usual way)…!
