Avocados: A Step-by-Step Guide

I bring shame to millenials everywhere.

Yeah, not the biggest fan of avocado.  It feels like you’re biting into a candle and kinda tastes like grass clippings mixed with soap.  Or maybe it was just the ones we bought.  Either way, it is one high maintenance fruit-vegetable.
