Mild Football Fever

I gotta admit I am getting mild football fever already. I am getting excited for football season again. Every year I hope the Bengals do better… and every year I am rather disappointed… although 2005 was a good year… a refreshing year.¬†

I am looking forward to watching Carson Palmer throw some touchdowns this year. Hopefully everyone is healthy and ready to roll. The suspense kinda builds as you see the craziness of free agency and all of the team moves in the offseason and then the NFL draft comes in April and then training camp and then BOOM… you’re tackling, jukin, jivin, and knockin people’s blocks off.

Ripen that avocado

Just in case you were wondering how to ripen an avocado faster:

If your avocados need ripening you can place them in a paper bag that will trap the ethylene gas they produce and speed up the ripening process. You can add a tomato, apple, or banana which will speed up the process even more. Avocados turn darker and start to get soft (not too soft). Also if the pit rattles or moves when you shake it… then it is overripe and you are a sucker for buying it. I have been a sucker before.¬†
