Yeah I just saw that. That one is not expensive. I think I paid about $12
for a small bottle of the kind I was using. Not sure I'd want to use one
that is also for cosmetic purposes though. And I was really hoping to avoid
mail ordering because they don't always pack oils well. I hate getting a
broken or leaky bottle of something. But thanks!

I've never cooked with it either. Just put it in mashed potatoes. Was
hesitant to do that because I hate the taste of avocados but this didn't
taste like that at all. It was really buttery.
