I didn’t know what’s an avocado (greetings from the Old World!) and googled it, apparently in my native language it’s known as 鳄梨 or “crocodile’s pear”, ewww
Have you not eaten 鳄梨, ybfelix? Lovely green color; smooth, unctuous flavor. Goes good with all sorts of things. “Alligator pear” is an alternate term in English, by the way.
You’re in China, yes? You can find 鳄梨 in Hong Kong and Japanese food .Usually with crab meat, bean sprouts, wrapped in rice paper or over sushi rice. Yummy!
And very pretty, unless you do your whole kitchen in that color.
Yes! The odor of avocado is very mild. It doesn’t smell like . . . anything. But the flavor is . . . . well, the flavor is Central America. Taste it, and imagine the New World! (Except for the Northern part, where all the English speakers are, and avocados aren’t.)
In Puerto Rico they are called “aguacates”. Old country folk predict how bad the hurricane season will be by the avocado crop – apparently, if the avocado trees give lots of fruit, there will be many storms.
My dad likes to smear ripe avocados on his bread, like butter (but much better for his cholesterol).
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed! It took me a minute to figure out what it was supposed to say…pre-coffee and all. I’m surprised they haven’t fixed it yet.
Careful, now… that behbeh bunneh will stay that way for about five hours (slight exaggeration) then, boom!, you’ve got yourself a teenage bunneh! With attitude and everything! Including of course, the disapproval.
Velvety eye caplets….want to gently stroke tiny spot between bahbeh ears.
This is heart-meltingly adorable.
Avocado…favorite weekend breakfast is sourdough toast with cheese grilled on top (guyere is yummy; provolone tastest like bacon when grilled) Add a fresh slice of avocado or two, sprinkled lightly with salt and fresh-ground pepper…a quick squeeze of lime juice and oh mmmm….
I am a cat person, but just visited my sister who has 1 of every kind of pet. Wanted to give them — rabbits and all — bits of my food. But always asked her first. Dogs like meat; birds like fruit. Bunnies like veg.
Behbeh bunneh fears that the first thing she sees will be stoopid hoomins. She refuses to open her eyes until we leave. The tilt of her head demonstrates how determined she is to avoid seeing us.
Cool cinnamon bun, complete w/pink icing leeps!
**tucks bun in pocket of avocado green jacket, runs away quickly to harvest gold kitchen to fix a feast worthy of such a sweet bun**
Candy size Bun, I’ll have 2oz.
There was a fashion for avacado bathroom suites in the UK during the 70′s,if your unlucky, you will still find them, when moving house.
Not all avocados and not all parts of the avocado, but bunnies do have selective diets, according to this page. It doesn’t mention avocados specifically but a few searches should find the right information. Be sure to hop right back here when you’re done!
Well… as long as we’re on the subject — just to let it be known — the avocado pit is toxic to birds. So to be safe, you should never feed a bird avocado.
There. It’s said. Now back to our keeeuuuuut bunbun.
I SO remember that TLC makeover show episode where the wife told the her friend NOT to paint her living room some sort of brown color. Sure enough, the designer painted it the color the wife hated. When the couple saw the room at the reveal, the wife “attacked” her friend yelling at her and knocking down to the floor. Talk about somebody not being happy over a paint color..geewhiz!
A BABY rabbit! The eyes open at 10-12 days, so younger than that.
When I raised a litter, one sibling’s eyes opened first, so she was hopping around confidently (since she was the only one who could see) and the other two girls were bumping around, like, “Wha?”
Of course, I didn’t know until much later all three babies were girls, the itty bitty bunny parts being too small to identify.
They are so soft and sweet at that time. I had a mommy give birth to seven like that. They do grow up fast. I miss when they were little like . They were so much fun to watch when their eyes opened and they start exploring their room.
“What is it? Is it a bunny? I think it’s a bunny!”–
(Me as I looked at this adorabuhl…bunny?)
My 1st squeeeee!!! Oout looooud.;)
*is ded*
is umm… dedER?
This pic is just gorgeous.
And look… it’s already disapproving!
It was that avocado color that did it.
But she’s only 10 days old in this picture. How could something so small and young be so disapproving?
I think it’s built-in….
Genetic predisposition at work.
Teeny weeny little baby bunny…head splod!
Velvet fur… pink leeps… teensy claws… WANT!
Is Harvest Gold OK, Susan?
HAAAAAYLE no.
LOL Skippy’s Mom we are not going back to those 70′s COlor… although you kno9w Burnt Orange is just soooooo…. orangy!
Here’s one of the all-time-greatest sources of color insanity:
http://www.hlchina.com/fiestacolors.htm
Luuurve Fiesta ware! My mother used to have a bunch of it; of course I don’t know what happened to it.
Ebay, baby!
The newest color is Paprika. I’m a major Fiestaware dork. Even go to the yearly conferences.
Baybay bunbun! Eep!
p.s. must…soft-kronsche…leetle…fingaires….
Surely it’s the Guess How Much I Love You bunny – the early years?
They know not to do avocado– it clashes with my Persimmon KitchenAid® Stand Mixer!
Ooh, you’ve just given me an idea for my New Year’s menu: Avocado and Persimmon Salad. Yum.
(I read that as Permission Salad… my sleep schedule is completely whacked right now)
Permission Salad is served before Libertine Risotto.
Yes! My menu is almost complete. Now, what to serve for dessert?
Permission (persimmon) Cookies of course
Can I have seconds on the risotto??
Must.
Beep.
Leetle.
Schnozzle!
oooooooooo want to pop head in mouf and nibble on bunny ears!
want.
Bebeh. Fluffeh. Bunneh. [ded]

You can’t make guacamole without it!
Intriguing Vocabulary Word of the Day??? “Unctuous” !!!
LOL I like how you ignore the more fun combination of Aligator Pear! Snerk!
You’re in China, yes? You can find 鳄梨 in Hong Kong and Japanese food .Usually with crab meat, bean sprouts, wrapped in rice paper or over sushi rice. Yummy!
And very pretty, unless you do your whole kitchen in that color.
Sounds like a durian without the smell…
would try next time at Cantonese restaurant

NO No they grow Quite nicely in California even as far north as Sacramento.
Yummm avacado’s
they are so buttery soft
You want eww? In French an avocado is “un avocat” the exact same word and spelling is used for the French word for lawyer LOL!
“abogado” en Espaol o Portugues.
They really need to rename this fruit so people like ybfelix will know what to ask for from their local grocer.

Muy peccado, latinoamericanos.

My dad likes to smear ripe avocados on his bread, like butter (but much better for his cholesterol).
But what’s really important thing is…
TINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!
I read that as “My dad likes to smear ripe avocados on his head…”
The overpowering squee of the bebbeh bunbun really threw me off but I would like to apologize to your dad.
@ Rachael: you must have been using my eyes, because that’s how I read it, too!
No, in portuguese it´s “advogado”.
Try wrapping your tongues around ‘zaboca’, major points if you figure out what part of the world that word is used.
It makes a delicious smoothy! A tablespoon or two of condensed milk, some ice, half an avacado, and you’ve got rich, creamy wonder.
I love bunny muzzles so, so much.
i want to kiss its cutesy little baby fuzz fuzz face!
Avocado is soooo five minutes ago.
because we ATE IT.
HEhehehehe
It’s “eyes” not “yes”
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed! It took me a minute to figure out what it was supposed to say…pre-coffee and all. I’m surprised they haven’t fixed it yet.
I wanted to say: Noooo! Don’t ever close your yes!!
*snicker* I totally missed that the first five times! (And there’s no witty hover-text! [pout])
nice [pouting] ackshon there, V
waaaaaaaaaaant! Behbeh bunneh tooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuute!!!! *squeeeeeee*
Careful, now… that behbeh bunneh will stay that way for about five hours (slight exaggeration) then, boom!, you’ve got yourself a teenage bunneh! With attitude and everything! Including of course, the disapproval.
So tiny and sooooo disaprovinks.
My lips, his nose. Repeat!
Sorry, Susan, HER nose. I will make it up to you with kisses.
Velvety eye caplets….want to gently stroke tiny spot between bahbeh ears.
This is heart-meltingly adorable.
Avocado…favorite weekend breakfast is sourdough toast with cheese grilled on top (guyere is yummy; provolone tastest like bacon when grilled) Add a fresh slice of avocado or two, sprinkled lightly with salt and fresh-ground pepper…a quick squeeze of lime juice and oh mmmm….
@Daphne: Sounds delish!
I am a cat person, but just visited my sister who has 1 of every kind of pet. Wanted to give them — rabbits and all — bits of my food. But always asked her first. Dogs like meat; birds like fruit. Bunnies like veg.
Yum!
I gave my dad a for Xmas,mocajete so he can mash his own for fresh guac!
You gave your dad a machete for Xmas so he can mash his own avocados? Those must be some big avocados.
Avocado & bacon (turkey or other), smokienomnom.
Everything in the world just got cuter. Thanks.
LOVE THIS comment.
Me too… Becuase the world really needs more cute!
Teensie weensie clawsies!
Behbeh bunneh fears that the first thing she sees will be stoopid hoomins. She refuses to open her eyes until we leave. The tilt of her head demonstrates how determined she is to avoid seeing us.

There was a fashion for avacado bathroom suites in the UK during the 70′s,if your unlucky, you will still find them, when moving house.
Ahem…You’re unlucky.
and Apostrephe position.
(giggle)
….and the spelling of “apostrophe”
(don’t worry though I frequently type faster
[and then hit the "send" button] more quickly
than my own brain operates ….:) )
Kitty, are you high AGAIN?!
NO No that would be me not knowing how to spell apostrophe and also not checking if I spelled it correctly.
and Skippymom Sadly, no I am not high on catnip right now as I am at work… Bwahahahahaha!!!
AVOCADO IS POISONOUS to Bunnies, please spread the word.
Not all avocados and not all parts of the avocado, but bunnies do have selective diets, according to this page. It doesn’t mention avocados specifically but a few searches should find the right information. Be sure to hop right back here when you’re done!

You go bunny with your disapproving self
Bunnehs are born to disapprove, in fact, it’s been located in the bungenome. Susan is simply fulfilling her bunnular destiny.
A rabbit seed! And holy cwap, it’s Theo! How’s army life?
rabbits do you know what kind of rabbit it is? I have never seen this this small before….
A BABY rabbit! The eyes open at 10-12 days, so younger than that.

Little raspberry mouf…
Am I the only one who reached out to the screen to beep that little nose?
Tilt Bunneh head wif

They are so soft and sweet at that time. I had a mommy give birth to seven like that. They do grow up fast. I miss when they were little like . They were so much fun to watch when their eyes opened and they start exploring their room.
d’awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! *splode into pink glitter, foof, and rainbows* that is dangerously precious.
That bun is only a few days old and already he’s totally got that Disapproving Bunny look going on pretty hard. Trouble is, that tiny, it’s ANERABLE!
