Avocados?

[weizenwind]

I've got 4 avocados that are rapidly approaching ripeness. Do I need to use/freeze them all right now, or if I pop them in the refrigerator will that halt the ripening without doing weird things to them

popping them in the fridge will slow down the ripening process. that's where mine is right now!

Oo-oh thanks for that, I *love* avacados but am always at a loss as to what to do with them (they usualy go on toast with lemon juice :D)

[pink_pikachu]

yay! I'm glad to know that you'll be using those recipes :)
btw, your icon is ADORABLE

Thanks! I must confess that I shamelessly stole it from an image I happened across while googling recipes one day, which probably makes me a bad person, but I just couldn't resist :)

Uh-oh--conflicting advice :(

I was afraid of something like that. Maybe I'll just make guacamole out of the ones I don't use and freeze that.

nah, the brownness comes just from half-eaten avocados, especially if you take the seed out.

they will last a bit in the fridge.. just don't leave them for days on end.

fridge helps but they're cold and the skin gets dry (eg harder to get them out) and exacerbates existing problems in the avocado...

Good to know.

This looks promising:

Cheepy!

And yes, it does look promising. I'm trying to replicate the one at Araya's, which I suspect uses a green curry and doesn't use tomatoes, but the rest of that recipe looks useful. Thanks!
