So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Tips On How To Store And Use Ripe Avocado

By Paul Hill


Avocados contain vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, vitamin C and healthy fats which help with the development of the body. They are healthy and very delicious. This fruit can either be mixed with other fruits to make pudding; it can be taken on its own or with food. It is important for you to know the difference between a fully-matured avocado and one that is not ready for consumption. In any case, if you purchase this fruit and later on realize that it is not ripe, there are ways for you to store it so that it can ripen slowly. The following are simple rules on how to store and use these ripe avocado.

When you want to have the avocados ripen very nicely, then you need to store them well. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight. When you place the fruit in direct sunlight, it turns color and it will have a bad taste. This fruit is very sensitive to heat and it therefore advisable to place it in an area where the temperature is controlled.

It is not advisable to place the fruit in refrigerator. The cold temperatures cause the peel of the fruit to develop a texture like that of a rubber. The cold also interferes with the ripening process off the fruit. The fruit should be placed on the floor because it provides a cool temperature as compared to the fridge providing cold temperatures. The fruit should be placed on a fruit bowl for it to ripen better. The fruit should only be placed in the refrigerator when it is mature but only for a shorter time.

When you cut the fruit into two parts, the inner flesh changes color in a very short time. The color changes from green to brown. It is important to softly cover the fruit with a lemon juice to maintain the fresh appearance. Another way of preserving the freshness of the fruit is by putting the fruit inside a container together with an onion.

To increase the speed at which this fruit becomes mature, store it in a polythene paper. After you have put the fruit in a paper, place the paper in a warm environment. This will trap the ethylene gas that fruits produce which speed up the ripening process. This technique is fast and it is not hard to do.

Ethylene gas helps fruits in their ripening process. Since every fruit produces this gas, you can also speedup the ripening process by storing the fruit with other fruits. Apples are the best fruits to try out this method as they produce ethylene gas even when they have gotten stale. This process is simple and also very effective.

To get the fruit to ripen immediately you can consider the microwave procedure. You should cover the fruit with an aluminum foil and place it in the microwave. The temperature in the microwaves encourages the fruit to ripe almost immediately.

If you crave for an avocado, do not fail to eat one because you went to the market and could not find any mature ones. The article above guides you on how to buy and enjoy eating your avocado without having to wait for a long period of time.
