Blue Skies and Lake Lunches.
It was beautiful out this morning!
We headed to the farmer’s market again to get some lunch supplies.
And I have been trying to get these babies ripe for 3 full days.
Apparently, Pittsburgh isn’t the only place that avocados cost an arm and a leg. They were 3 for $5 here.
Besides that, the suckers did not want to get ripe. I put them in a paper bag for a day, I had them sitting out in the sun for a day, I gave them warm and cool darkness – nothing. I was done being patient.
So I performed some avocado surgery to make guac anyway.
It came out just okay.
My dad grilled us lunch:
Then we went swimming in the pretty water, but you guys know I can’t take my DSLR anywhere near water.
And now we are off to play!

I have no patience with unripe avocados, either! Your guac definitely looks more than just okay!
blech, i hate it when avocados don’t ripen…probably the worst thing in the world. it’s like eating smushed-up cardboard (ok, that might be a bit dramatic…)
All that fresh food looks so good!! With every vacation post you make me more and more jealous!! ;)
Such a bummer when avocados don’t ripen :(
Mmmm I love lunch on the grill!
Love all that freshness! I hate waiting for things to ripen. I usually just eat it anyways and feel bitter inside.
I have heared putting the avos in a paper bag WITH a banana can help ripen them?
ahh I love your pics!! so beautiful…I bet Mr How Sweet misses you!!
Avocados are amazing, especially in the summer.
Wow, your place is so pretty and peaceful looking!
Yay for farmer’s market photos! I love seeing all the fresh (cough) veggies everywhere. It’s so awesome in its variety.
