Here I am in the midst of repotting my avocado tree. I’m really surprised by how much it has grown in the past year. Neat, huh?
Start Your Own Avocado Plant
The next time you make guacamole, take the avocado pit (often called the stone) and push the flat end into a six-inch pot of moist, multi-purpose soil. Leave the pointy end exposed.Make sure to keep the plant at about 65° F until the first leaf shoots appear. Aftet that, it likes normal room temperatures with slightly cooler temperatures (60° F) in winter.
To encourage upward growth, pinch off new buds when they appear below the top leaves on the plant stalk. With proper care, in three years your Avocado will grow to an elegant, large-leaved houseplant about 3 feet tall.

Lunch
monday, monday, monday love lunch* of avocado, mango, tomato sushi rolls
Btw, that’s my handy work above! I also wanted to share a short excerpt about love lunches that came to mind while making this.
“Remember when you used to pack those lunches for Milli in the brown paper bags with those little red hearts on them?”
“How did you know that?” I asked. “Did the other girls tease her about it?”
“Hell no,” Edwin said. “They were jealous. You made it hard on the rest of us butches. We all had to start packing ‘love lunches.’
