Agreed with several posters here. Ripen and then refrigerate. Holds
the avocado nicely. To keep nicely in icebox, squirt a little lemon
on open surface and enclose in saran. If you ever have too many ripe
ones, dogs love them. Our Border Collie is also known as"avocado
breath". The vet said nothing we can do, because avocados are on the
ground here, so the vet said, hold back some dog food for weight.

My dad, used to love to put ketchup in the empty pit-part of the avo
and eat with a spoon. He was a ketchup kind of a guy

BTW our avos here are huge and excellent. Just part of the benefit of
living in Kona. And we are not allowed to send them out of the
State! (California, our neighbor, protects its Hass growers with an
active Political Action Committee, swearing Hawaii avocados will bring
the deadly fruit fly to CA and ruin their crop.:?))

When I go into the local Safeway and see Haas, it honestly blows my
mind, to see their teeny weeny size. Amongst our farmer friends we
are always amazed to see how small Haas is and then to see people in
Kona buying them at Safeway! They need farmer friends!
