Not book related but when you are tired of all the crappiness of the evening news it's nice to see a story like the one about this woman who found this 5.23 pound avocado on her morning walk on The Big Island. She's waiting to hear back from Guinness World Records to see if it's the world's largest. I just can't help thinking, "I wonder how many avocado toasts I could make from that thing?!?" ??? ?#avocadotoast

BarbaraJean As soon as you said it was an avocado in the picture, I knew this post was headed towards avocado toast! 😂 Heh... rhyme-y... 😏 7y
rubyslippersreads I thought of you when I saw this story! 😄🥑 7y

Kalalalatja 😱😱😱 Wow! 7y
Rachellynnwright Lol you are the best! 😄 7y
julesG 😁😁 Just had the same thought, how much avocado toast does that monster yield? 7y
SandyW And it's Wednesday, avocado toast day! But am I the only one who has a problem with the "found" aspect of this story? 7y
Ddzmini 😳 love avocados 🥑 😍🤪 7y
LeahBergen 😂😂 7y
erzascarletbookgasm 😄 ...I‘m the only one in my family that loves 🥑 7y
Christine11 That‘s amazing ! 😂 7y
AmyG @No_One beat me to it. Holy Guacamole. That is crazy. 7y
No_One @SandyW I thought it strange, too. She says she found it during a walk. 🤔 But who grew it? Are there wild avocados all around Hawaii? More investigation required! 7y
LaurenAsh All I can think is, ‘Yum!‘ 7y
Bette 😂😂😂 7y
DebinHawaii @jfalkens She said it was good and it looked pretty normal cut open. I've had a giant one like that before--it's a different variety that gets 4-5 times larger than a haas--and it was pretty good. 🥑💚 @BarbaraJean @rubyslippersreads You know me well! 😋🥑 @mjdowens They had a picture of it cut open in the news & the pit looked the size of an entire normal avocado! 😲 @julesG Hah! You can't help it! 🥑🍞💚 7y
DebinHawaii @erzascarletbookgasm It would take you forever to eat this one on your own! 😆🥑👍 7y
DebinHawaii @No_One @SandyW Holy guacamole is right! 😆Regarding the found part, she says it was on the ground on the street outside a neighbor's yard which is a public area & makes it free for anyone to take.And people do. So far the news here has not mentioned the neighbor making a fuss or complaining. 🤔And there are some wild trees:plants of just about everything grown on Hawaii if you look. There are even urban/suburban foraging tours available. 7y
jfalkens @DebinHawaii that's good 😋😋🥑🥑 did Guiness ever get back to her? 7y
DebinHawaii @jfalkens Apparently you submit the paperwork, photos, weight measurement by an expert--in this case a local plant guy-/and they have so many people submitting entries for different records that it takes several weeks for their judges to make a ruling. Crazy! 😆 7y
jfalkens @DebinHawaii wow that is crazy! You'll have to keep us updated 😊🥑 7y
Cinfhen Hahahaha 💚💚💚 7y
No_One @DebinHawaii @SandyW very cool! The neighbours sound cool, too! Guac for the whole neighbourhood! 😎. I def need to visit Hawaii, now, if avocados are falling from the trees! 😋🥑😋 7y
Ddzmini So I went out today and guess what I got 😝🥑🥑🥑 7y
DebinHawaii @jfalkens I will! 🥑👍 @Cinfhen 😆💚🥑 @No_One Definitely guac for the entire neighborhood! 🌺🥑 @Ddzmini Excellent! 🥑🍞💚👍 7y
