avocados!

i love getting the bags of small avocados from trader joes.  they are the perfect size and come in a bag of 6.  usually they are rock  hard, but i have found the perfect way to ripen them.  when i get home i place them in my fruit bowl for 2 days.  at this point they are still firm but have some give to them.  then i put them in the fridge for up to a week and they stay perfectly ripe and firm.
