RE: Day 4 - Selfie Freewrite Celebration Contest
I think I'm getting less creative as I go instead of more. I've got an avocado tree in my yard and it's given me so many ideas on how to incorporate it into cement that that is what pops into mind when I think tree. I used the leaves to make imprints in the cement during the molding process and most recently, had a friend make me a mold from an avocado I picked myself. I've made avocado brownies, avocado chocolate pudding, avocado dressing, avocado smoothies and obviously avocado toast. Never would I have thought that I'd see an avocado go bad on my counter, but when you've got 20 that are ripe at the same time its kind of hard to avoid it. Next time I'm making avocado ice cubes with all the ones ready to go bad. Itll make smoothies quick and easy next time. Here I am with the cement avocado dish I made :D Not the edible kind, lol.
That is a great cement avocado!! I think it is time for a meet-up so you can get rid of those Avocados :)
And I see that you are getting the hang of the 5-minute thing :)
Good suggestion @freewritehouse for a meet-up by the Avocados tree
I'm down! We've got a couple, lol. Cmon over!!! There's a loquat tree down the street for free picking too, although not sure if there's still good fruit on there or not. The weather has been pretty mild so I'm guessing yes. Oh, and a meyer lemon tree that is falling over with the amount of fruit its holding. Guac and Lemonade party!
secretly I'm still guessing as to what 5 minutes feels like. The timer is too much pressure. I press START and my mind goes blank! LOL
It's like the landlord and I are on the same page. Ill go out and pick a few to be ripe in a week and then the next day Ill find another dozen he decided to harvest and dole out to the neighbors. I cant seem to get the hang of just having one or two ripe avocados per day. Its all or nothing!
That is funny. But avocados do freeze - so, that is a good thing lol
Avocados are such divas- I have lost many over the years :( There was a great cartoon that showed the avocado saying "not ready, not ready" when the person checked them, and then they went to the bathroom and it yelled" I'm ripe" and when they came out it had already gone bad lol. That is how I feel. Though I do love them so. A typical doomed love affair haha
That is no exaggeration! I think pureeing the ones almost ready to go back and stuffing them into a silicone ice cube tray for freezing might be a game changer.
Won't they taste funky though? They will get oxidized on the surface. Or maybe you just slice that part off before use?
add a little lemon juice to the puree before you freeze it. i think a teaspoon per avocado? at least thats what the directions say. I wonder if laying saran wrap over the top to prevent the avocado mush from touching air in the freezer would help?
