Years and years ago I was given a tool for cutting and mashing an avocado. It lived in a cabinet, not even near other gadgets. Through the years, I’ve eaten avocado in restaurants, but I’d never bought one. When Shawn gave me this fruit they were not going to eat, I knew right where to find the tool.
I found a video on how to use it and quickly removed the flesh. Using the other end, I mashed it with a little salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
After adding diced onion, I put it on sourdough toast, as recommended. I read that avocado toast was very popular a few years ago. I obviously missed the fad, but the sandwich was delicious. I will do the same thing with the remaining half. This was a fun and tasty experience. Thank you Shawn and Bob!

What a cute gadget! I eat avocados all the time. I just love them. Today I sliced part of one onto a bagel spread with cream cheese. Your avocado toast looks very good.

I was at the grocery store this morning and the bananas are next to the avocadoes – they have “mini” avocadoes, something I’ve not seen before, but I don’t buy avocadoes either.

Avocado with cottage cheese, a little salt on the cut-up pieces of avocado, a little pepper on the cottage cheese, and then I scoop it up together on a fork, it is heavenly. I came to eating avocado later in my life. I don’t know why…just never tried it. It is one of my favorite lunches now. I buy the four or five pack of miniatures. One is perfect for a meal, and for some reason they seem to ripen for me a bit easier and more reliably than the larger fruits. I like it on toast too, mashed up of course.

When I visited our son and his family in FL, I had smashed avocado which appears like yours only with a sunny side up egg and dollop of sour cream on top. Great breakfast treat. Most times, I prefer it served as a half with lemon juice. Or tossed in a salad too. Lovely post, Anne.
