If you don't stop and consider peas and guacamole once in a while, you could miss it. Oh Internet. I’m just recording this one for Portland posterity. Because, man, did that escalate quickly. For those of you who missed the play by play. [Cabel Sasser](http://cabel.me/ "Cabel Sasser")—cofounder of Portland-based [Panic](http://panic.com "Panic"), purveyor of fine Mac software among other things—got himself in a bit of of a pickle yesterday. Or maybe more appropriately, some pea laden guacamole. It all started when—in response to interwebs firestorm about [The New York Times article suggesting we add peas to guacamole](http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015047-green-pea-guacamole "Green Pea Guacamole")—Cabel tweeted out this photo. > Welp. That was fast.

Thank you, Fourth Estate. Thank you. > The Huffington Post has busted me. I will be stepping down from my role at prank to spend more time with my family > > — Cabel Sasser (@cabel) [July 7, 2015](https://twitter.com/cabel/status/618466785944141824) [//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js](//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js) Well, if anything is to be gained of this, it’s the Photoshop file that Cabel used to create the image. Which, for better or worse, is now open source. > In the interest of full disclosure, here's my Photoshop .PSD. May it serve you well somehow [pic.twitter.com/hPOHi6vm7t](http://t.co/hPOHi6vm7t) > > — Cabel Sasser (@cabel) [July 7, 2015](https://twitter.com/cabel/status/618467675006636033) [//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js](//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js) Until the next time Cabel causes trouble on the Internet, peas out.
