This is the first in a series of posts that will explore life skills that people like me, who have spent their entire lives focusing on being "book smart," learn how to adult. Things that the recipe books and instruction manuals don't include, because the writers assume that everyone already knows. Things that will be useful to know when the parents are no longer around. So, without further ado, here is...
How to Chop an Avocado (for the absolute noob)
Step One: Cut the avocado in fourths. Use a knife that is about this size:
Rotate the avodado, making four cuts.
Step Two: Peel the avocado. You can peel one side, then the other, but it may be easier to peel it all at once depending on how ripe it is.
Step Three: Cut one side of the avocado into small, squareish pieces, first one way, then the other. You should then be able to slide them off the pit and into a bowl. Repeat on the other side. 
Ta-dah! All done! Now I can (someday far in the future when I have an apartment with an actual kitchen) I can cut up my own avocados to make tacos. Mmmmmm...
