A good avocado is awesome. A bad avocado is, well, bad. And it really sucks to split one open and find a discolored brown mess inside. Turns out you can determine if an avocado is ripe by popping of that little nub of a stem and checking the color underneath. I came up with this little rhyme to help you remember.

If it’s brown put it down.
If it’s green there will be dishes to clean.

Going forward I’ll leave the rhyming to Dr. Seuss. Checkout this little photo sequence via courtneyisawesomeatpaleo’s Tumblr:

How do you know if an avocado is ripe? Pluck off the stem and check the color.

An awesome handpainted sign from a book about sign painters (yes there is such a thing). Clearly, the artist saw the benefits of eating their greens! You can check it out on Amazon (and if you happen to buy something you’ll be supporting functhat). Victory!

I’ve got four carnivorous paleo eating kids so I’ve definitely had to defend my piece of tri-tip against trespassers. We take our beef pretty seriously but this, this takes it to a whole new level. Imagine your friends jealousy as you sit down to eat at your local steakhouse and you suavely pull a leather sheath from your pocket to reveal:

your PERSONAL STEAK KNIFE!

That’s right! It just got real in rib-eye land sucka!

To be honest, when I saw this sirloin samurai sword on Amazon (click here) I didn’t think anyone would actually use it when dining out. Then I looked through a few of the reviews (which average four and a half stars out of five by the way). This is probably the best one by far:

What a pleasure to use a knife rather than a saw when dining out. I am amazed at what some very good and very expensive restaurants provide for cutting beef, lamb, pork, etc. By the time you apply enough pressure and take enough strokes to carve a bite size piece so much of the taste has been lost. Be prepared for some stares, but realize most of them are caused by envy.

I’m intrigued. Someone please invite me out to dinner and I’ll promise to cut your steak for you…
