\"avocado-x\"<\/p>\n

I mentioned earlier that I was not a fan of avocados. Well, I\u2019m a convert now! :D<\/p>\n

I had this $1.75 organic avocado bought from NTUC just before it was time to start Hannah on solid food. It was green and hard (i.e. unripe) then and I simply just left it in the refrigerator. Over time I forgot all about that little fruit sitting in the far corner of my refrigerator and it started to ripen, very slowly though.<\/p>\n

Since I wasn\u2019t big on avocado then, I gave myself excuses that I didn\u2019t know how best to treat the fruit. And it was turning brown anyway, so it might be spoiled. Still, it was tucked away in the refrigerator after all the procrastination.<\/p>\n

One day, I read up on avocado ripening and how to tell it. So I went to press the poor, neglected fruit in my refrigerator to check whether it was ripe for consumption. It gave way slightly to touch and I could sense that it was ready to be eaten. Still, I wasn\u2019t ready to make the move. So it continued its cold abandonment.<\/p>\n

Just yesterday, I decided that it was about time to discard the over-ripe fruit. It has been kept for about a month now. Surely it couldn\u2019t be consumed anymore right? But I looked at the brown fruit and thought to myself why not just cut it open to take a peek? Instead of cutting it lengthwise, I did it breadth-wise. Don\u2019t ask me why. Hey, it looked pretty edible. I reached for a spoon to scoop out some of its pale yellow flesh to savour it. Oh, it tasted so heavenly! So creamy and nutty! So satisfying! Hannah must try this delicious thing! :P<\/p>\n

So I ended up buying more organic avocados from NTUC\u2026this time they were on discount\u2026$2.45 for 2. I bought 4 in total\u2026yay. I hope that Hannah will enjoy this fruit too. :) BTW, it is packed with plenty of nutrients good for babies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
