What do you do with this gift?
The season is short. The toast is waiting.
The anatomy of a perfect in-season avocado is a study in texture. The flesh should be like cold butter left on the counter for ten minutes—creamy, lush, and heavy on the tongue. It is one of the few foods that satisfies a craving for richness without the weight of dairy or fat. It coats the palate, acting as a cooling agent against the heat of a salsa or the sharp acid of a lime dressing.
