Is there a way of speeding up the ripening process of an avocado. I am making sushi tomorrow and my avocado is still too firm for consumption. Any suggestions?

At room temp, in a closed paper bag, with an apple to keep it company.

What he said, but with a ripe banana (it's the ethylene that does it, apparently).

Has anyone tried sticking it in a pile of uncooked rice? Something about the heat from the rice..?

Never heard about the rice thing. What heat?

Actually, I don't think it matters what other sort of fruit you stick into the paper bag with the avocados. I often have peaches or pears or something else I'm ripening, and they all work just as well.

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

over ripe narly apples work best. Just make sure you take the apple out if you have several avocado's, or they will ripen too quick.
