The Forgotten Fruit

The avocado. It IS a fruit, not a veggie. But maybe it's not the "forgotten" fruit. That's probably not the right word. Unknown? Looked over? Not realized? I didn't think much about the avocado when I was in the produce department before I had Stella. However, during my first pregnancy, my friend Victoria was also pregnant and we talked (actually, we communicate by exchanging voicemails) quite often. She was always eating avocado...the avocado, bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwich stuck in my mind. I finally zoned in on one in the grocery store right after Stella was born. I tried it and now I am addicted. It's as common on a sandwich to me as lettuce and tomato. Thanks Victoria! (And if you only eat half...I've found the best way that the other half stays good in the fridge is with the pit still in and wrapped in foil.)
