The best avocados I have ever had started as ordinary hard, green ones
from the local Safeway. It was April in Portland, a time of warm sun
changing to rainstorms and back again about 5 times a day. I put the
avocados on a sun-facing windowsill in the morning and closed the drapes
behind them, making a fairly intense little hothouse. When I came back
that evening, the avocados were ripened to perfection - almost a smoky
flavor.

It's possible they were riper than I thought when I got them - I've never
been able to duplicate that flavor.
