Don't Forget the Avos


Just last night Jill and I were talking about braving the winter weather and making an avocado run. 

The Aztecs invented guacamole. “Avocado” comes from the Aztec word “ahuacatl,” a derivative of the word for testicle, based on how the fruit grows droopy and in pairs.  

Super Sunday is peak day for avocado consumption in the US with more than 65 million avocados made into guacamole.
