Patience

Avocado season is in swing.

It seems a bit ridiculous to call it a season, since between the two family trees we basically have them year round. But I still like to see the babies coming up.

I have a big bag waiting to ripen (at the beginning of the season, the avocados take longer to ripen - usually at least two weeks) and I'm looking forward to avocado toast and avocado quesadillas and guacamole, of course.

  13. You are so lucky to have an avocado tree. One of my favorite snacks is a sliced avocado with sea salt and truffle oil. It makes me feel really glamorous!
