July seeps away

Layabout weekend. Succeeded only in changing the shower curtain liner and vacuuming the downstairs, but that will do for a start.

I love avocadoes so am eternally grateful to whoever told me the apple trick. Take quantum sufficit of rock hard avocadoes. Put them in a paper bag with an apple- variety unimportant, I am given to understand, but I feel red is better than green. They will not be soft the next day, as I was promised, but they'll be perfect the day after, and then you can put them in the fridge to prevent rotten ripeness.

That is an excellent thing to know. *notes*

It is the Secret Lore of Avocadoes, long hidden from mankind.

AHAH! I'd heard about the paper bag thing but didn't know about the apple bit. I wonder if this will work in our humidity though. Hmmm ponders upon future experiments.

Thank you. This will be useful. I too love avocado but it's always hit or miss with them.

Maybe in the tropics one day will be sufficient? Supposing you can get apples out of season, which is sometimes dicey even here.

I too didn't know about the apple thing! I'll have to go to the store and get some!
