Avocados? Avocados Anyone?

THINGS TO DO WITH AVOCADOS:

Mmmmmn delicioso :D

Ah yes, it's that lovely time of year when one of my fave fruits are in season. The avocado :) Oh yes, like many a Trini, I loves me some avocado, or zaboca, whatever name floats your boat.

Thankfully, my family and I have been blessed to own an avocado tree so we are not subject to the extortion that occurs with buying avocados on the roadside >_< 

Even more to our fortune, this year in particular, our friendly neighbourhood fruit thief is imprisoned at the moment, so we can actually get to enjoy our avocado. But with him out of the way, a literal missing link in the food chain, we realize that we are in excess of avocado. Avocados, avocados everywhere. So here's a few things I've been doing to lessen the burden: 

1) Eating them of course

Hey, they're a great source of calories and since I can't go wrong with an extra pound or two, I have been snacking on avocados for 2/52 now. 

• Avocado with Bread. 
• Avocado with Crix. 
• Avocado with Salt.
• Avocado sliced nicely at the side of any food under the Caribbean sun basically --- except for doubles or roti or anything curried of course, unless you want a quick cure for constipation :)

2) Face masks!!!

A quick Google search of the benefits of avocados for nourishing and moisturizing your face tells you all you need to know. My fave recipe is avocado, brown sugar and cinnamon powder. I also read that it can be good for hair, but meh, I'd rather not try that on my precious locks >_<

3) Lastly, sharing is caring :)

We ended up just giving away a lot of them really :) And I've still got more so if you know me in real life and you're an avocado lover like I am, then just ask and you shall receive :)
