A ripe avocado is slightly soft -- i.e., when you press gently on it, you can feel its give -- in kind of the same way you gently press on a peach to k nnow if it's ripe. You cut around the middle of an avocado to cut it in half. There's a big seed in the middle. If you want, you can plant the seed and grow a very attractive avocado tree. Avocados are delicious. They darken, though, when exposed to oxygen, so eat soon after peeling and dicing. Penny
