"rose marie" news and stories

OK readers, I have a challenge for you. Do you dare accept it?

The other night I was watching an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, the one where Rob and Laura accidentally hear their neighbors Jerry and Millie talking about them on Richie's toy intercom. It's one of my favorite episodes, and I've always wondered if the dip that is mentioned in the episode, Avocado and Peanut Butter, was a real dip that someone on the cast or crew had made or if it was completely made up. It sounds like an odd combination, but I've heard of odder recipes.

The only clues I have are that it's a dip (Buddy puts it on crackers) and the ingredients are avocado, peanut butter, and mustard. Don't forget the mustard! It's the vital ingredient, though Buddy seems to like it better without it. Not sure if there are any other ingredients - these are the only three mentioned.

So who wants to make it and report back here on how it tastes? We could start a new trend here: real recipes based on fake TV and movie recipes.
