Easy way to pit a ripe avacado

This will come in handy if you make guacamole or guacamumus.

Sometimes you know how to do something and don’t do it anyway.

Last weekend I went to pit an avocado and instead of using a chef’s knife, I used a small utility knife because I was too lazy to get the big knife that was in a drawer about 7 feet away.

And instead of hacking the knife into the pit sideways, I tried to use the point.

Yes, indeed, I missed and now I have a large cut in the middle of my palm. Hurts. I feel like a jerk.

Do it the right way folks!
