Pick the Perfect Avocado

Avocados aren't cheap, and there's nothing worse than getting one of those five dollar fruits home only to cut it open and see that it's brown inside.

Holy Moly! It's The Best Every Guacamole!

I am a married mom of two sons born 15 years apart (yes, you read that right!) living in Hamilton, Ontario.  A lover of cupcakes, reading good (and not-so-good) books and cooking, I also spend my days working in marketing for a well-known franchise restaurant corporation.  As fairly recent transplants to Hamilton, my family and I enjoy exploring the city and taking in all it has to offer.  I am also a member of the National Post's Gastropost weekend feature section where you can read about my completed food “missions”.  Follow me on Twitter @pennesthoughts or on my blog at http://www.apenneforyourthoughts.com
