Variations on a theme

So, earlier this week I posted a great avocado tzatziki recipe. I got a call from my friend Liz tonight. She didn't have all the ingredients for it, so made some modifications. I made her version for dinner, and it's very yummy as well.

What she did:

double recipe
Instead of all lemon juice, use 1/2 lemon juice, 1/2 lime juice
cut all spices except salt and garlic (I still didn't put any salt in)
add 1 tsp curry powder (we both used madras curry powder)
She also used yoghurt instead of sour cream, like I did.

It's very good - I actually made 1/2 of her recipe as I only had one avocado left. The original recipe says it serves 8. Ha! It serves 3 at the most the way I eat it.

Okay, enough about food. Tomorrow I'm going to Franklin Mills, evidently the mecca of outlet shopping in Philadelphia. Everyone I talk to seems aghast that I've been in the city so long and haven't made it up there yet. Apparently it's like coming to Philly and not eating a cheesesteak.

"ass 1 tsp curry powder (we both used madras curry powder)"

That sounds disgusting. Is that the suggested stirring method or how it should be ground?
