Did nipsey die?

too many avocados.

 

[Joe T]

I had a one banana and one (uno) avocado smoothie this morning in honor of Nipsey. #RIP

I was/am a big fan of Nipsey, despite the road not being a 2 way street always.

So I'm at the trader joe in April, see the 4 pack of avocado and think i'll pick this up and make some guac. What am I? a chef? No, I'm not. So at about the 4 day mark i realize my $3 purchase is about to go in the bin unless I do something like eat the things. I cut one in half, remove the pit, take the peel(?) off and apply a little salt. Wow. That's pretty good. i'll have another. And another. and another. And here i am 250 of the ####ers later.

My cholesterol dropped from 177 to 143 and from what doc says the good cholesterol went up(hdl?). I sleep better. Richard has been standing seemingly all the time. My poops slide out almost undetected. I met a friend out for drinks on preseason Monday, I was in this great mood. Why? It was a preseason Monday. Oh yeah, i've been choking down 2 avocados a day for 4 months.

In conclusion: where these green suckers been all my life?

Just some great life advice here.  Wish these damn things were not so expensive in the southeast.

Well at least until poop starts sliding out your Richard and you die from it being infected.

@gianmarco has this problem. RIP, GB.

I want to try this. I love guacamole but have never really had plain avacado. Do you just eat them plain with salt? Any other easy daily recipes.

I started with salt but I just eat them plain now. Make sure they're ripe or they can cause stomach pain and they can be tough to poop out, like unripe bananas. Learned that the hard way.Maybe my favorite thing about them is I can eat them first thing in the morning or for lunch or for dinner or for a late night snack. I decided last month to never buy meat for home (unless I really wanted it) and just eat these. I'll eat meat out but the avocados at home make for a nice substitute.

I love meat & avocados, but the green ####er will never be a substitute for meat!

Health tip of the day: When ordering your quesadilla substitute an extra helping of guacamole for the sour cream. You can still have the salsa.

I have an avacado tree and this year was the first year we got a solid harvest. 

It is almost 25 feet tall now. The only problem is they all became ripe at the same time.

You can freeze them.

Did you buy it or grow it from a seed? Did you have to graft or do you have multiples?

I bought a 25 gallon pancho avacado 6 years ago. 

I only have a single tree, they self pollinate, however they have a 50% reduction in yield when self pollinating. 

I originally bought 2 trees, but the other one was a 5 gallon tree and it died the first winter. I tried another 5 gallon tree since then and it also perished.

They are very cold sensitive when young, even though I bought cold resistance strains.

I think I will plant an orange tree next year. I am happy with the single avacado tree now.

@MTskibumI had a couple I grew from pits in Houston. No idea if they were male/female. But it didn't matter.  They got to about 8-10 years old and Ike took them out.

I've got quite a few citrus trees in FL and they are either very finicky or very high maintenance.

My grandmother had a huge avocado tree in her front yard.  I'm talking 30' tall and produced a ton of avocados. She planted a pit 50 years back and it grew into a great big tree.  I hope it's still there... haven't been back to her old house in 8 years since she passed.  Love you, miss you, Nonna.

Love the surprise poll. But it shoulda had this.

I have two avocado trees off my lanai that produce zillions. Reach out and grab them all day long if I want. I've got to try this. If an avocado a day will keep the Imodium A.D away, I'm in!

Neighbor has this big, black lab (Count Blackula) who's super smart, and that thing has figured out how to peel the skin off fallen avocados and eat them; it's crazy. Every morning he goes to the bushes under the avocado tree and finds one (uno), sits down, and has breakfast. I walk him a lot and have always wondered why his poops are so spectacular. Who knew???

Yeah, I'm going to try this soon.
