shootingstar Posted April 16 Share #4 Posted April 16 I eat only half an avocado in 1 sitting. Usually I put it into a sandwich. Yummers. Clearly someone who buys a bag of ie. 10 avocados is thinking of making guacamole (?) I knew an employee who would use and spread 1 whole cut-up avocado on toast at work --several days/wk. I could NEVER do that. To me, that's just too much avocado in 1 meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like avocados, except in guacamole. They just don't register as something tasty, just kind of a sneezy green mess of yick that is supposed to be good for you. They are also ripe for about 5 minutes. I decided to stop buying them to make gaucamole and just leave that up to the professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted April 16 Author Share #11 Posted April 16 6 minutes ago, F_in Ray Of Sunshine said: dis·cus /ˈdiskəs/ RAMONA, Okla. (AP) — Mykolas Alekna of Lithuania broke a world record in the discus throw that had stood since 1986 on Sunday at the Oklahoma Throws Series competition. Alekna’s throw of 243 feet, 11 inches (74.35 meters) eclipsed the mark of 243 feet (74.08 meters) set by German athlete Jurgen Schult on June 6, 1986. Alekna’s throw was originally measured at 244-1 (74.41) but later revised, according to World Athletics. The record is subject to ratification. World Athletics said Schult’s mark, set when he represented East Germany, had been the longest-standing men’s world record in track and field. The 21-year-old Alekna, a junior at the University of California, is a two-time medalist at the world outdoor championships. He captured a silver medal at the 2022 worlds in Oregon and bronze last summer in Hungary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted April 16 Share #14 Posted April 16 Ok... Oxford English Dictionary in CAnada is used as the starting prime key resource in university by academics (faculty and students) studying English literature and language. That is the scholarly source on how words began, developed and where it's used on a particular spelling. I had to check the dictionary because I do use the spelling for discuss, which now I realize it's probably British: discuss - Advanced search results in Entries | Oxford English Dictionary (oed.com) I never knew until...65 yrs. now.

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted April 16 Share #18 Posted April 16 Natives in central Mexico originally named the avocado “āhuacatl”, their word for testicle, for the way the fruit hung in pairs from the tree. Remember that when mashing them up for guacamole. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
