Slicing and Dicing Avocados

By Sherry K on January 22nd, 2013

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

It has occurred to me that with the Super Bowl coming up, there is probably going to be a lot of guacamole made in the next couple of weeks.

With all that slicing, dicing, smashing and mashing going on, it seems it would be a good time to show an archive of one of my early Zippy Tip episodes.

I thought I would be slick and show a technique that I saw Bobby Flay do for removing the avocado pit (seed).

Needless to say, things did not go according to plan..

Sherry I really enjoy your video tips. Very nice. And also love the fact that you have composed and played the music for them too! Keep up the great work.

This is so cool! My mom taught me this trick a few years ago. She passed away recently. So, I had to pin this:) Thanks for showing a tip on your blog that brings a big happy smile to my face.

Kelly, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom, but I’m glad that the video could help in bringing back fond memories of the good times that you spent together. Take care!

I know, leave it to me to foul that up, huh? I’m just glad I got to the pit before the dogs did! Thanks Ally!

That pit flying was just too funny!! Years ago, the first time I used that little trick, I cut my finger. lol Not badly, but now I usually have in on the counter when I do the “karate chop” these days since I am clearly not too coordinated!

Oh my, that sounds painful–glad I didn’t do that! I like your idea of putting it on the counter for the karate chop–less dangerous, ha! Thanks for stopping by Claire. Have a great weekend!
