So it's avocado season here now. I bought these avocados three days ago. Yesterday they were rocks. Today they're perfect. Tomorrow they'll be a science experiment. I swear avocados give you about a two-hour window to get your life together.

I used to put them in the fridge, but I just learned that if they're not ripe yet, the cold can slow down or stop the ripening process. So that's what I was doing wrong!!

Not totally related, but I have an Aussie friend who always says, "I'll be out for the arvo." For the longest time, I thought he was talking about avos (avocados) and not the afternoon.

So are you a fan of this fruit in the photo, or is avocado a hard pass for you?

I like them but it's a bit tricky to know just when to eat them, as you say.

Right? One day they're hard as a rock, and the next they're perfect. You have to catch them at just the right time

I would like to try them again. I only used to eat them for dessert. But some are using them for sauce/dressing or salad.

Same here. I grew up eating avocados as a dessert, so that's still my favorite way to enjoy them. But I also like them in sandwiches, on toast, and of course in guacamole

You gave me a good laugh! I'm not a fan of avocados, but I like pears, and they do the SAME thing!!

We don't really have pears here, but don't they kind of look like avocados? Maybe they're related in spirit

We have two avocado trees, but unfortunately avocados are a no no for me.

That's a shame, especially with two avocado trees! Why can't you have them?

I like avocados, I buy and keep them wrapped until they are ready to eat. Once they are ripe they last a couple of days.

Lol Same here! It's like they wait until you're busy and then decide to go bad

Of course I love avocado. The Philippines variety of avocado is tastier than what I can buy here which is vey small.

I love avocados.

I can even eat that just the fruit alone. Yes! It's the season and I never stop bugging my brother as to when we're going to harvest the avocados that grows and bears fruit on his girlfriend yard. Hahaha It has been a yearly teasing my bro.
