I love this fruit. In the Philippines we make smoothies or we call it avocado shake. Or we just peel it and eat it with sugar (of course when it is ripe). Here in the US since avocado comes from Mexico they make it with a dip with chips. They mashed the avocado and mix it with fresh tomatoes or onions what ever you like it to taste which for me is new ^_^.<br />When it's avocado season in the Philippines, my mom told us to eat avocados because for 4 glass of milk is equivalent to one avocado what a deal to get your calcium, very natural no preservative.<br />Thanks for sharing Ann, happy Wednesday!<br /><a href="http://kissess4u.blogspot.com/2011/01/meadow-brook-hall.html" rel="nofollow">Outdoor Wednesday/ABC Wednesday</a>Kim, USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06648960796504608061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-24459162568891763842011-01-21T15:50:55.076-08:002011-01-21T15:50:55.076-08:00ahhh avacados!
