I'm a simple woman. An avocado with a squeeze of lime and sprinkle of salt does me just fine.

Really. I am possibly irritated.

Warning -t about the case of avocados: it can be hard to eat a whole case by yourself. I find it can be hard sometimes to eat the TJs 4 pack in time. Although it can simultaneously be hard to keep enough avocados on hand when I only buy 4 at time. Go figure.

That often is exactly what I want. I like to have some other options to try on occasion.

That is exactly my concern, Burrell! i have had pretty good luck with freezing excess avocado, though, so I might give it a try. Once I find out exactly how many come in a case.

I often use the fridge to slow down ripening once they've reached a certain stage.

Right, that's totally an option. I am not good at remembering that, for some reason. Once they get into the fruit bowl on the table they mostly stay there until they are eaten or need bits cut off of them.

I had an avocado as an evening snack the other night. I'm not actually a fan of them in salads (too slippery), but they are great on BLTs and other sandwiches. I'm thinking they might be an awesome secret ingredient to fish tacos too.

Mmmm, avocados in sandwiches, so good. I gotta remember Teppy's wrap slices of turkey around wedges of avocado trick, too, that's a good one.

Arrow and Supernatural are delayed by baseball here, and I am so tempted to stay awake and make sure the game ends in time for my recording to be okay. That is not necessary, self. The DVR is set to record extra time and you have Hulu if you need it. Go to bed.
