But it looks like everyone ate the same thing for taco tuesday so .
I would never pay $5 for 2 avocados and (more like .69 for one). Just buy it a couple days ahead when it is rock hard and it will ripen at room temp in a couple days. I do understand that there are some great already made guacs and pico de gallos out there though and i was just pointing out that grilled guac is a different flavor. BTW--what are triceratops taco shells?

I don't still have the article but I know Consumer Reports says that the most common thing to break on a refrigerator is the ice machine. And of course it doesn't happen to everyone but I do know 2 people who had extensive damage with water slowly dripping. One of my friends now shuts off her water if she even goes away for a few days because of what happened. Anyway, I guess I am different than most on here...I easily make my own ice as needed in silicone giant cube trays...They take up very little space in the freezer (more room for food!) and I don't care what the shape is. If i ever need more ice for a party or something....$1 for a big bag at the local dollar store.
