yeah, that's pretty much spot on. I do enjoy an avocado toast time-to-time, topped with capers/sharp onion/etc . . .
buy one at the supermarket, it's rock hard.
check every every every day . . .
it's ready . . . but for breakfast tomorrow , , , when it's past ready . . . .
I don't remember avocados doing that 30 years and more ago. I wonder what changed.
Any avocados I bought (yep, I'm talking 60 years) didn't last long enough to go over the hill.
Buy - eat. (especially with shrimp, whimper)

I don't remember ever seeing avocados in any stores in England, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places - although there weren't the large supermarkets in those days. Plenty here though, which is A Good Thing as I love avos!

Phaedra, avocados must have been available in England. That's where I first started eating them in the early 70's.

They probably were, dragn - maybe I didn't see any as I wasn't looking for them then. I definitely wouldn't have been able to afford any in the early 70's though, as I was a widow with a toddler and a new baby back then, so things were very tight.

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is really necessary, customer service being what it is today.
A lady died this past January, and the bank billed her for February March for their annual service charges on her credit card, added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance of $0, is now somewhere around $60.
A Family Member placed a call to The Bank. Here is the exchange:
Family Member: “I am calling to tell you she died in January.”
The Bank: “The account was never closed, and the late fees charges still apply.”
Family Member: “Maybe you should turn it over to collections.”
The Bank: “Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been.”
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?”
The Bank: “Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau.”
Family Member: “Did you just get what I was telling you? The part about her being dead?”
The Bank: “Sir, you’ll have to speak to my supervisor.”
(Supervisor gets on the phone)
Family Member: “I’m calling to tell you she died in January.”
The Bank: “The account was never closed, so the late fees and charges still apply.”
Family Member: “Do you mean you want to collect from her estate?”
The Bank: “Are you her lawyer?”
Family Member: “No, I’m her great-nephew.”
The Bank: “Could you fax us a certificate of death?”
Family Member: “Sure.” (fax number is given)
After they get the fax:
The Bank: “Our system just isn’t set up for death. I don’t know what more I can do to help.”
Family Member: “Well, if you figure it out, great ! If not, you could just keep billing her. I really don’t think she will care.”
The Bank: “Well, the late fees charges do still apply.”
Family Member: “Would you like her new billing address?”
The Bank: “Yes, that will help.”
Family Member: ” Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.”
The Bank: “Sir, that is a cemetery!”
Family Member: “What do you do with dead people on YOUR planet?!!
