....a great cooking/food prep tip in (to me) the unlikeliest of places...
a porno!
Seriously, I love avocados (I make a mean guacamole..prize winning too) and eat them all the time.
This video sets up in the kitchen...this very attractive brunette is halving an avocado. She holds it delicately in one fair hand. With great care, she traces the circumference of the climacteric fruit with her knife. It is barely discernible but she precisely creases the tenderness under the rough exterior. She gently spreads the two sides apart revealing the smooth interior and exposing the almost perfectly round seed. With a short thrust, she penetrates the pit with her knife. Then she ever so slowly rocks her hand back and forth...almost as if in a loving caress. Suddenly, the pit pops free and the two mirrored halves of the avocado lay there as if spent..just having released their seed, but pristine in their display of the wondrous fruit remaining within. 
Seriously...if you can prepare food (especially avocados)... that is sexy!!!
I will definitely try this prep trick the next time I halve avocados!

Saw that same tip in an even unlikelier place: Emeril Live!
That Beeotch is nasty!!! I'd much prefer to watch a pretty lady prepare food 
Ok...so...I like artsy porn and literotica...I get carried away sometimes
It just struck me because I've probably cut thousands of avocados in half and I've never once seen that technique...it was a 'palm to forehead' moment when I saw it. I just thought it highly ironic that it was in the opening moments of a porno...any not on some cooking show...
I'm also easily amused...but, that is probably obvious by now...
