Keep digging, maybe we can put together a good guacamole recipe!

The big wooden ball in the middle maybe is the best part because it’s the crunchiest.

Mmmmm avocado! Goes great on toast. ❤ Who would throw out a perfectly good avocado?? Unless it’s so overly ripe it’s gone all brown inside . . .

If you find some toothpicks and a mason jar, you can grow your own avocado tree. Of course, Rhode Island might not be the best climate for one, unless you can claim Tommy’s former greenhouse as part of your territory. And you will probably have crossed the River Stix before it produces the fruit.

I’ve always wondered about people who say “Don’t eat — insert inedible object — it’s poison!” I had no intention to eat that avocado skin, avocado pit, cherry pit, mistletoe, poinsettia, Lego.

So I went back to 201 9 to refresh my memory about which Raccoon is which. Of course Old Mag is Old Mag. But the others are a bit harder to keep track of since we don’t always see them. I think the one with the eyepiece is Gutter and the one with the shield is Junk. I suppose the others are their younguns? Correct me if I’m wrong please.

I raccoon they isn’t done with the dumpster yet.

And Agnes continues her report on racoon behavior.

Informative and – to some – tasty.

Phew! It looks as though the threat of Lava lamps has receded. Avacados (ghastly though they may be) are not as doomladen.

Unless you eat the skin, of course.

Avocado. Ugh. It was also a terrible color for appliances.

Maybe they find all the makings of a, Super bowl. party!

Avocado appliances weren’t as bad as harvest gold ones.

Whatever the heck that is supposed to mean!

Bill Haley and the Comets: Rock Around the Clock

Two ripe avocados, Guac!

Quarter teaspoon of salt for Guac!

Juice of one lime, Guac!

We’re gonna make that Guacamole tonight!

…….

We’re gonna add cilantro if we choose

Maybe chili powder, don’t refuse

We’re gonna have a bowl of Guac tonight

We’re gonna dip with chips morning, noon, and night

We’re making Guac, making Guac, and we’ll just do alright!

…….

We’re gonna have our Guac, gonna dip

With our favorite tortilla chips!

We’re gonna have a bowl of Guac tonight!

We’re gonna make it taste outta sight!

We’re making Guac, making Guac, and we’ll just do alright!

Avocado, why don’t you come to your senses?

Toxic skins been your defenses for so long now

Oh, you’re a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These ‘coons that find you pleasin’

Still want you somehow

You may be rottin’, but there’s someone glad to meet you

You better let somebody eat you

(Let somebody eat you)

You better let some raccoon eat you before it’s too late

- Don Henley, Glenn Frey – Desperado

Love avocado sliced in half, sprinkled with some slap ya mama and maybe some lime. Yum! Or just made into guacamole.

Probably rotten by now.

My movie going “friendly neighborhood” Raccoon does like Avocado.

(see yesterday comments)

But he prefers it in Guac form, with chirps .

I thought he mispoke, and so I said, “I like chips too.”

Turns out “chirps” are grasshoppers. They’re really crunchy, and have a grassy taste. (after he passed them to me, I could not just return them, so did the polite thing and tried them)

He also likes the wooden ball in the middle. He tells me that when he goes down by the river or the Bolsa Chica Wetlands near here that he uses it as currency with the beavers. The wooden ball is like a cheese ball snack to them, and worth a lot.

I think I have tasted avocado one time. As I recall, it didn’t have much taste but I found the mouth-feel to be disgusting. Haven’t touched one since.

I will occasionally eat avocados, maybe once a year or so. I usually do that because they are supposed to be good for you.

I at first wondered why someone would throw away a whole avocado, then I remembered my last move and all the food I pitched because it was COVID and there was nobody to donate it to. Still, maybe the avocado could have been a snack for Dr. Scuttles.

I find them annoying as they are properly ripe for about 57 seconds

Who in their right mind would toss an avocado?! (Unless it went bad) Avocado is culinary gold.

OK, quick poll here: What’s the #1 food you will not eat no matter what? (Mine is casu marzu.)

I’m not too fond of avocados.

I don’t know why people are so avoidant when it comes to avocados. Let them ripen up a bit and they make great ammunition for a pneumatic cannon!

…what? Eat them? That’s silly. Who’d do that?

My sis’s favorite way to eat avocados is to cut one in half & eat it straight out of the skin “bowl” with a spoon. I don’t care for them plain, but guacamole is TEH AWSUM!

No “big wooden ball”! That is a dangerous choke hazard!

My daughter ordered a baked potato with sour cream, chives and bacon bits. It was a delivery. She unwrapped it and exclaimed UGH, someone barfed in/on my baked potato. They had sent avocado topping instead and it had oxidized to an unattractive (I’m trying to be kind) army green. She kept the potato, which I ate after scrapping off the avocado and adding some butter and sour cream which I had in the fridge.

Love avocados, have a beautiful avocado tree in my backyard!

The house is still devoid of wi-fi, so I’m parked at the library (with my own computer for a change), checked my email and downloaded a couple important things. I’ll try the repeater soon & keep you updated. Keep me and Foxy in your purrrrrrrrrs please, this is lunacy.
