Here's a receipe for avocado soup I recently tried after
watching a Cajun Cooking Show.

     2 cups ripe, cold, avocado
     1-1/2 cups cold chicken stock
     2 cups cold buttermilk

Put above ingredients in a blender, and liquify.  If not eaten
right away, keep on ice until served.


Ripening avocados during the winter in Seattle is a problem.  Putting
them on the window sill doesn't work unless you have warm sun coming
through.  Julia Child once said that you should put unripe avocados
in a bowl covered with flour.  That's the same as putting them on
a window sill in warm weather.  Anyway, during the winter, I put them
in a paper bag, and lay them upon the water heater.  Works every time,
PDQ.
