I just ate a portion of avocado for a late lunch/snack

I ate it the same way I did mid-January, sliced up with everything but the bagel seasoning on top. I've been doing some surveys of customers where I work asking them whether they leave the avocados on their counters until they ripen as many here do or whether they put them straight into the fridge and then let them ripen later. I will say those that leave them out are by far the majority both here in mylot and at my job. I asked several ladies that left them on the counter whether their moms taught them that and the answer was always yes. Well, I was never exposed to them growing up. In fact, I didn't begin eating them until about ten years ago when my sister recommended that I start. I'll have to ask her sometime whether she knows to leave them out until they ripen. It could be that she doesn't know that either. I want to say that I purchased three mid- January. Two I put into the fridge for later and the third I left on the counter. I, personally didn't enjoy that one very much. I think because I've already put them into the fridge first that's the taste I'm used to and I like those better. The one I had a portion of today was the final one of these three that I bought about the fifteenth of January. Recently, I noticed it had started to ripen even being in the fridge. So, today I thought I'd check it out and if it was still a light green, which it was, I'd eat some. Which I did. The image is the one I had today.
