Housekeeping Hints for the New Millenium: Add some avocado to your day!

As an international trendsetter and style guru, I think I should warn all of you that I have started to warm up to avocado.




It all started when I met and fell in love with this little tabletop broiler (although it should be noted that it is blatantly lying to me every time I see the word "smokeless" on its front, and that's never a good sign for a relationship).

While I don't think I would go so fas as to advocate for the return of kitchens with all avocado appliances, orange countertops, dark brown cabinets and indoor/outdoor carpeting (which one saw with alarming regularity in my youth) I think an argument can be made for touches of Avocado here and there in any tasteful kitchen.

But if any of you go out and buy a set of cannisters that look like owls or mushrooms, I'm sending my thugs out to your place.
