Thanks, I couldn't make google do that. Too bad there was nothing
helpful about avocados.

They are very healthy, and I find them delicious as well.

HealthFUL! Once Bwrrrrryan discovered boys he dropped out of high
school.

Love lemon pepper. It's also excellent on cottage cheese.

Thanks. I am in the habit, now, of zesting lemons before I use them -
so I have enough zest stored in the freezer to give it a try.

You are correct about my word misuse, but I don't know what your obsession is with boys.

I just use my microplane to do the zesting and let the zest sit out
overnight in a little flat dipping bowl. If you just left it out on
the counter, it would probably dry in an hour or less given the dry
heat where you live. No need for fancy machines to dry lemon zest
here either. Even in my fog & cool, it dries in no time flat. I
don't want it dried for most of my purposes, so I get it to the
freezer before it dries out on me.

Obviously my lemon zest is a lot finer than yours. It dries literally
in just a few hours on the foggiest, rainiest of days and it's so fine
that I don't need to do anything to it to be able to shake it out with
no problems. Sounds like you need to borrow a microplane and give it
a test run... or are you really talking about lemon peel?

Thanks, I had a feeling we weren't talking about the same thing.
