  • How to choose avocados?

    How do I choose which avocados to buy? Are there tricks?

    I like to buy two at a time, one that is ripe now and one that will ripen in a few days. But I seem to pick out too many that have bad spots inside, spots that were not obvious from the outside.

    I'm in the Midwest, so these avocados have already traveled and maybe undergone a little tumbling and temperature changes. I do my best to protect them from any further bruising, even to the point of asking the cashiers to handle them gently.

    Ours just jumped up to $4.29.

    A year ago (I found an old receipt) I paid $3.19 for the same brand of milk.

    This is why I have been cooking with powered milk.
