Re: Microwave/range hood distance to range top. I just came from an inspection that had the installation manual on the countertop for the Kenmore microwave. The instructions stated a minimum distance of 30 from the stove top to the top of the microwave. When I measured it, the top was 30.5 above, which left a clearance of 14 between the bottom of the micro and the stove top. Seemed too close to me, but it met the manufacturers installation instructions.
Directions. 1  In food processor fitted with chopping blade, puree avocado with garlic, lime juice, and herbs. 2  Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. 3  Add cream and continue to heat, but do not allow to boil. 4  Salt to taste and serve.
Another solution that I read in a magazine is to make guacamole by putting the hard avocado in a blender with a cup of peas. Honestly, I am still shaking my head over that one. In the first place, an avocado that has not softened is not going to taste like ripened avocado. Be honest if you are going to talk about making guacamole, please. I can understand that well-intentioned avocado marketing folks would like to tell the world to buy avocados and make guacamole.
