Kitchen Hint of the Day!

If you bought a whole bunch of avocados for your guacamole and one or two are still not ripe enough to use, try this tip - which isn't ideal, but will do the trick. Prick the skin of the unripe avocado in several places, then microwave it on high for 40-70 seconds, flipping it over halfway through. This won't ripen the avocado, but it will soften enough that you'll be able to mash it with ripe avocados and your guests won't notice the difference.
