\"\"<\/a>If wishes came true, there’d be a mountain of lovely, bumpy, green\/black California Hass\u00a0 avocados waiting right outside the door, programmed like magic to mature and ripen in sequence.\u00a0 There would never be a whole bunch of avocados bought on sale reaching their peak all at once.\u00a0 When that happens, we have to switch menus quickly because avocados cost so much, losing one to over-ripeness can ruin a person’s mood.<\/p>\n

Avocado update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bad news is:<\/strong>\u00a0 Due to increased Southern California water costs, they are now costlier to grow. California produces 90% of the United States’ avocados. As of 2013, Mexico leads international exports, with other significant production in California, New Zealand, Peru, and South Africa.<\/p>\n

The good news:<\/strong> There’s a rumor California may soon be able to grow avocados year round.<\/p>\n

Bad\u00a0 news:\u00a0<\/strong> That cost-of-water thing.<\/p>\n

Music this week:\u00a0 Banana Boat Song. Harry Belafonte.<\/a>\u00a0 The video features dancers.\u00a0 Also Carmen Miranda, who wore more affordable fruits on her head.<\/p>\n
