I love sharp knives... nothing is worse than a dull one! How to people sharpen theirs? By a professional? At home with a tool?

Question of the Day: Fresh avocado, share your love
In Guatemala where I grew up avocados are a staple... eaten any way possible. In soups, on tortillas, with frijoles... it is all delicious. Now I eat one or two a week for lunch... spread on good bread with a little salt. It is better tasting than butter in my opinion...

I am the happiest in my kitchen when I am having a glass of wine, cooking a nice dinner for my partner and listening to some good music at the end of the day. The whole experience relaxes me and makes me realize how much I enjoy cooking!

How could I forget my favorite method of avocado ingestion: unagi and avocado rolls.
YUM.

Prefer the texture of luscious avocados served halved or sliced. Avocado in a salad that boasts lots of tomatoes, peppers, and greens, terrific. A sandwich of avocado, brie, tomato, and lettuce on chewy rustic bread. Another favorite: salmon-avocado maki rolls.

I love avocados! I like them just scooped out of their skins and shoveled straight into my mouth. I like them in maki rolls with cucumber and scallions. I like them spread on bread with a little grey salt. I like them in guacamole (avocado, lime juice, salt, onion and serrano chile in mine).
My favorite sandwich is made at a little place called Big G's in Winslow, Maine. It's called a Papa Charlie and is melted cheese, tuna salad, tomato, sprouts and avocado on lavash. Best. Sandwich. Ever.

*swoon* I don't think there is any savory way I wouldn't eat avacadoes. One of the Mexican restaurants near my home makes guacamole tacos and tostadas. Very simple, just a crispy corn tortilla, guacamole, lettuce and some Monterey Jack cheese.
When I make my own guacamole, I just scoop them out of their skins, sprinkle them with salt and lemon juice and add a couple of tablespoons of homemade salsa. I leave it pretty chunky.
I've never tried them in sweet applications and, in fact, the only time I've ever seen them in a dessert was when one of my fellow culinary students made an avocado cheesecake. My instructor and I had almost identical palates and he didn't like it, so I didn't try it. Not very adventurous of me I admit, but I just couldn't do it.

I've never heard of avocado's sweetened... but I love them plain. Me, a half avocado and a spoon and nothing else. Guacamole is good, just as long as it's mildly if at all spicy.

Any way possible. I am a complete avocado junkie, and living in western MA, I'm very thankful for shipped, out-of-season produce.
My sister in Santa Barbara introduced me to avocado mashed up in cottage cheese. Sounds and looks rather putrid, but tastes wonderful. Try it!
