The Birds and The Bees of Avocados

Avocados are my favorite fruits. Now, if you are like most people, I know what you’re thinking:  “Avocados aren’t fruit. They can’t be fruit. Fruit is sweet. They must be vegetables, mustn’t they?”  Actually, no. And yes. You see, there are so many theories, opinions, and disciplines involved, that depending on whose viewpoint you are […]

Take 2 Tuesday—The Call of The Wild…And of The Chocolate

The capacity for being sneaky has existed for as long as mankind.  The only being with the ability to think beyond its instinct brings with it the power to choose mischief over conscientiousness, naughty over nice, and chocolate over vanilla.  The question of whether or not people are inherently good, or inherently bad is as old as the question of birth […]
