Avocados

Posted on February 5, 2011 by lifegrower

You can’t grow these except in places like California and Texas. You can eat them, mind you – my mother put them in salads – but who would want to do that? Green booger slices they looked like, so my brothers and I had two dogs raised pretty much on under-the-table avocados and liver. Then I grew up and bride made guacamole, and told me what was in it. I hate being wrong, so don’t read this.
