The squirrels and racoons are still bombarding us with avocados, and I pray they will knock them all down and get out of town.
Bob is picking them 2 at a time because that is a lot of fruit to eat. I read somewhere that I could cut them up, mashed with salt/lemon, and keep it in the fridge. THIS IS NOT TRUE!
Well, it IS true! But it tasted good fresh, but the next day, I gagged when I ate it, gave it to Bob, Who Eats Any and All Things, and he said toss it. I did! I decided not to try freezing it because that will turn out Not to be True. Now after the 87 days it takes for them to ripen, Bob gets 3/4 and I take the quarter, sprinkle with salt and put slices on unsalted saltines. I am so proud of how I scooped out the whole inside to this one, even if the leftovers were trashed

I imagine a lot of us would be willing to take some of them off your hands. 😊
Good morning Sandra :=)
Those naughty squirrels and racoons do come in useful for some things. You couldn't eat
the delicious Avocados without them.
You did a great job of scooping! Wow, the inside is yellow! I guess that is because you guys have the big kind. We have the smaller ones that are green inside. I wonder how they taste different?
F is with the Cheerful Monk. Mr B thinks they are vile things that even the hogs should refuse to eat. There's an idea, perhaps you should use them to fatten a pig in a pen in your back yard. Xxx Mr T (I like pork.)

Oh yes, add me to the queue of avocado-wishers! To keep some avo for the next day, don't scoop the lot out. Just keep one half with the stone in it, quickly dab the cut surface with a dash of lemon or lime juice, then wrap in cling film to prevent air exposure. Depending on the age of the fruit, you may still get a little bit of browning, easily removed, but the majority of the flesh will be perfectly good. YAM xx
I find avocado quite queasy to eat personally. This is after many tries since it is considered as a healthy superfood.
Good job scooping. I wish I liked them but I just find them disgusting. I'm wondering though if it's because at the store, they store them in the cooler and when they put them out they are in a refrigerated case. Maybe it would taste better if it was straight off the tree.
Our avocados have green alligator flesh & pea green "meat". Great on salads & makes yummy guacamole!!
Just got my heart health magazine from my ins company
Avocados are the new HEALTH food rage and very good for you.
Too bad they all ripen at once
They are $$$ in the store

Hello,
I would love some of your avocados, it looks yummy.
I have only seen them when they are green inside.
I would not want one falling on my head. Watch out below.
Have a great day!
I heard you can freeze avocado. . .
Like Jean said, I'd be delighted to take them off your hands! I love a fresh guacamole, but I'm not willing to pay what they're asking these days.
Is there, perhaps, a Community Food Bank that would be willing to come out and pick them?
avocados are very expensive where I live. i could eat avocado everyday. especially guacamole is my personal favorite.
I just can't get over how big those avocados are. Our store bought ones are tiny and so expensive.
Yumm, I love them in and on everything.

Wow!! I want to tell you that Amber did freeze avocadoes when the quads were infants. She mashed and froze them in ice cube trays and then dumped them in a gallon zip lock bag and used them for baby food. She did that with lots of stuff including cantaloupe and pineapple and more. I think she had a good blender because she made ALL her own baby food. This may account for why the kids have such advanced palates and eat such a wide variety of food.
I used to look at that bag of frozen avocadoes and think how eacy it would be to make a big bowl of guacamole!
You are lucky to have so many. I have to buy them.
You have made me want to try avocado again.
I love avocados and eat them often. While nice, having a tree seems like a lot of work. But such huge avocados, do they taste the same as the smaller, store bought ones?
Gotta admit, I'm not a fan of avocados, maybe the squirrels and racoons aren't either and that's why they're bombarding you with them - They want something else! 😊
Way to go on eating the avocados. It's nice that you have them compared to buying them in the store like I have to.
Lucky you to have your avocado tree. We love them in this house.
