I have tortillas, leftover chilli and some lettuce and avocadoes in the fridge - I think that will take about 5 minutes to turn into something for dinner - enchiladas or tacos.... ???

Am I wrong in thinking avocado's arent supposed to go in the fridge?
Interesting reading about the rep points. How do you find out what your "full rep power" is on a particular thread?
Not sure about dinner yet. Told hubby I'd like to get the plants in the ground - we bought them about a month ago!
Just realize the deer are doing a number on my landscaping.....but they have to eat too. will look for replacements in the spring that are deer resistent. Whatever is growing in the woods must not be to their liking as my cedars are like an AYCE buffet for them.

I put them in the fridge once they are ripe, so they don't get any riper - or start going black. It halts the ripening and they stay 'just right' for quite a number of days
To ripen a hard avocado I put them in a brown paper bag along with a banana somewhere dark for a day or two... like in a drawer - an Israeli friend told me to do that years ago - she worked on an avocado farm so I believed her - seems to work but I am sure leaving them in a fruit bowl does the trick too!
Last night we had the yummy griddle-fried burgers with baked beans & corn.
Tonight I'll be making chicken parmigiana with a side of pasta, Caesar salad and garlic knots. This time I'll put a tray of water in the oven to keep the chicken from drying out (thanks, Kelsie!).
Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. Back to work tomorrow!
Hi all, we are back from Sam's. Woo hoo. I bought a rotisserie chicken for my dinner and hubby will have steak for his B-day. Has anyone ever tried the pre-cooked ribs from Sam's?

I have trouble getting a ripe avocado or bringing one to ripeness when I need it.....it seems I have thrown away a lot of avocados because when they were ready I wasn't or when I t hought they were ripe they were nasty brown inside. I do like avocado...but never got good at picking a good one....and I did live out in California whre people had them growing in their yards..... I have pretty much given up on fresh avocado.
Going to light-fry some fish and eat green beans sauteed in butter and garlic. Am on a no - or low - sugar and no white food diet (rice, potatoes, bread, anything with white flour).
This morning at 9:00, a Boston butt (pork shoulder) was rubbed down with spices, placed into my cast iron dutch oven, and left at 200 degrees to cook all day.
I also boiled up some small white navy beans (because I forgot to soak them overnight) and once they had boiled and rested, I put them in the crock pot. In the pot went a good squirt of ketchup, dry mustard powder, half a diced onion, a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and salt.
Just before dinner I made slaw. (cabbage, onion, carrots, cider vinegar, sugar, salt mayonnaise)
5 hours after the pork went into the oven, I drained the fat off the pork and saw that it shredded easily. Seasoned it up with some cayenne, cider vinegar and salt.
BBQ, baked beans and slaw with plenty of leftovers.
