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!
