Mashed in with a tin of albacore tuna, a splash of lemon. Or with a spoon straight down the hatch. Your choice. :)
This little fella hails from Peru. His brother (in the bag of five that I bought) was rubbery. Has that ever happened to you? The skin was the right colour, as if he had ripened along with his kin in the sack. But then....nope. He didn't want to become one with me. He went into the composter. I've never had a rubbery avocado before! Weird.
I cut them in half, score them with a knife, then squeeze out the squares. Easy peasy.
I'll be eating lots of these in November, in California. (Insert happy clap here!) I'm looking for an apartment rental, and may have found a great one at AirBnB.com...a very neat site that connects travellers with apartments. I was lost browsing on there for ages! Go see, maybe you have a place you'd like to rent out. For those who give it a try you will save money, meet new people and have all the comforts of home. Some cities are dreadfully expensive, like Washington D.C...so it makes sense to go with an apartment rental. :)
Eat an avocado today!!! xo {Have a blissful weekend! I'm estate sale-ing again and hitting this beach on Sunday. What you doin?}
That is the coolest website ever made! Thanks Gill Maybe L and I will be going somewhere next year! Lets hope he is ok with staying at someones place!
North america Here we come!

oooo must try avacado and tuna..yum....I love that beach...we camped there as a family when I was a kid eons ago. My w/e list consists of walking to the local farmer's market with my pal through the walking paths of Newmarket, reading "Shantaram" while lounging on my patio swing and forging on with knitting - knee socks on 2 circular needles :>). Lovely weekend to all.

Ooh, you've changed your look yet again! Lovely. And let's hear it for avocados - so yummy. As for renting apartments, rather than staying in hotels, whenever possible I do this. It's so much more relaxing than a hotel. Enjoy your weekend and the estate sale! xoxox

Love the avocado, and that's just how I like it too,though when I want to indulge, I whip it with milk and a blob of butter, and some brown sugar to make a gooey dessert! :)
Love your blog!

Your November trip in California sounds dreamy. Look forward to hearing all about it this fall. Hope you found treasures at the estate sales over the weekend!

I love avocados!!! That snick sound when you scrape a spoon down the skin to release the flesh. Yum.
I was looking through AirBnB for a NYC rental. Great site and I know what you mean about getting lost in the listings:)

Mmmmm....avocados. A favourite sandwich of mine is avocado mixed with salmon with a bit of lemon. Yum!

avocados are truly a good reason for waking up. Like butter, but made from fruit/vegetable/whatever they technically are.
