PREPARE AN AVOCADO SAFELY: You'll need a ripe avocado to properly 
prepare it. With a sharp medium to large knife, slice through the 
avocado from top to bottom, cutting around the stone, then twist to 
separate the two halves. To remove the stone, you should be able dig 
it out with a teaspoon if it's ripe enough. Now you can peel it – top 
to bottom is easiest.
