The Tale of the Traveling Avocado

A couple weeks ago Anne and I did a Food of All Nations and Kroger run when I was in Cville for the week. I grabbed an avocado b/c I love them and I figured I could make some guac as a snack one day. Too bad, since I was in Cville for a short-ish time, I spent a lot of time with people out and about and not a ton of time in my apartment. Anyways, little mister avocado didn't get eaten. So it traveled back up to Northern VA with me. But I only had one avocado and there were three people, so I avoided using the avocado. Then, little mister avocado traveled with me down to Southern VA where I'm on my own during the days and I had the same thought of it becoming a snack. Dad brought home fresh tomatoes that someone gave him and I got excited about using the produce but for some reason it didn't happen. To cut the repetition out, all you need to know is that the avocado took another trip back up to NOVA and YET another trip back to Cville yesterday...only to be eaten finally this evening back in northern VA - 2 weeks later. And guess what, it was perfectly ripe.
