Thanks for the tip on avocado pits in a smooothy. Is it really good? I have never eaten it. I'll have to do a search to see if anyone else is preparing it somehow. It is so freak'n big it would be nice not to throw it away. The Vietnamese people here make avocado sweet smoothies with sweetened condensed milk.
I also like key limes, but your ability to allow them to totally ripen on the tree is where the magic happens. I am jealous. I also have kafir lime plant and use the leaves. The Thai people here use the zest of the fruit, not the juice for curries, but mine has never produced fruit so I have to buy them frozen. --- In [email protected], "vashtirama" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > "Try planting Meyer lemons -- not as sour.
