How to cut an Avacado

So sounds pretty simple right, just cut it open and bam perfect avacado pieces, wrong. There's a pit in there, and they're all squishy and just pretty stinking hard to deal with until I found these tips, so here's how I cut my avacados!

 Carefully cut the avacado in half and then simply turn it (like a rubics cube, two hands) and separate the sides. I already ate half of this one then saved it (see bottom) but usually you will have two sides full of "meat."

 To remove the pit, carefully hold the avacado in your hand (the first time you may want to set it one a plate and keep your hands away) take your knife and chop at the pit, you aren't trying to cut through it just get your knife in there. After your knife is in the pit hold the avacado firmly and turn the avacado, the pit should come right out.

 Next cut horizontally along the avacado all the way to the outside (but not through the outer layer).
 Next cut vertically, the same as before (skip this slice if you want large pieces).
 All you have to do now is turn the peel inside out and bam - avacado slices.

If you aren't going to use it all right away, use the side without the pit first, no matter what is left, put both sides together and keep it in a baggie in the fridge.
