How To Stop Letting Avocados Get Brown!

Today: Avocados are too good and too expensive to let fall to the wayside. Here are three of the best methods to keep avocados green, longer. 

Much like tomatoes, when we slice an avocado open to eat, we usually aren’t gunning to devour the whole fruit in a single meal. There’s a critical point at which crisp toast can’t take another dollop of mushed avocado, salad greens can’t support another creamy slice, and we have to tackle the conundrum of keeping an unused avocado half as green as possible until our next meal. 

The most common piece of advice is to leave the pit in the avocado half, or rather, use the pitted half first. However, while the parts of flesh that are in contact with the pit stay fresh, the rest of the avocado easily browns. This is simply because the pit is blocking air from reaching part of the flesh. So, to keep the exposed avocado from browning, we have to mimic what the pit does and create alternative barriers. Though avocado halves will always brown to some degree, the following methods kept the fruit green, longer. 

The Onion MethodRoughly chop a quarter of a red onion into large chunks. Line the bottom of a sealable container with the onion pieces, then place the avocado half cut side-up on top. Seal the container and keep in the fridge. According to The Kitchn, this is likely due to the vapors that onions emit. Luckily, because the skin is the only part of the avocado in contact with the onion, the flesh won’t take on any flavor. And you can save the onions for later use!

The Olive Oil MethodBrush the avocado half with olive oil (pick one without a strong flavor). The oil will keep the flesh from coming in direct contact with the air, preventing oxidization. After brushing with the oil, store the avocado in an airtight container in the fridge. 

The Lemon Juice MethodYou can also brush your avocado’s flesh with lemon juice — the citric acid in the lemon juice dramatically slows the browning process. Again, store in an airtight container for extra protection.

Godly Virtues, Please

TEXT: 2 KINGS 14:1-7

Key Verse: “And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did” (2 Kings 14:3).

A song writer, while imploring Christians to build a godly legacy with their lives, wrote: ‘While passing through this world of sin, and others your life shall view, be clean and pure without and within. Let others see Jesus in you. Your life is a book before their eyes. They are reading it through and through. Do others see Jesus in you?”

Our text reflects the impact and the influence of Amaziah’s father on him. This underscored the importance of paying attention to the type of influence which we should, either overtly or covertly, have on those that draw inspiration from us. It is obvious that king Joash influenced Amaziah much more than any other person. Parents, guardians, teachers and other stakeholders, who have the responsibility of mentoring children and the upcoming generations, should be conscious of the enormity of the task God has placed on them.

Amaziah started well, but he did not finish well. He was not as good a king like David, his ancestor. He did what his father, Joash, did by not removing the places where people worshipped on the high hills. Also, he killed, as a legal punishment, those officials who had murdered his father. He did not kill their children however, just to obey the laws of Moses (Deuteronomy 24:16).

So, we should know that every child is a delicate little person. He is an individual who is capable of growing at his own pace, having his own personality, his own intelligence, aptitude and temperament. He grows up physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and spiritually. He is an imitator, very observant and sensitive to what is happening around him.

All stakeholders, therefore, owe it a responsibility to the larger society to ensure their comportment, actions and inactions are geared towards building an enduring godly heritage that can help upcoming generations.

Thought for the day: Godly virtue is better than reputation.

Prayer for new week

It is God who gives power to make wealth. He will bless you on every side. Like Isaac, you shall dig in times of scarcity and profit in spite of famine, In the face of famine, you will have abundance. The favour of God will increase you on every side. 

You will prosper and become a blessing to your generation in Jesus name. Nobody can stop the wind from blowing. Whoever that tries to stop your Joy and Progress, God will destroy their powers in Jesus name.J

Happy New Week from us ASB-World.

Damned By Pride

TEXT: 2 KINGS 14:8-16

Key verse: “Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?” (2 Kings 14:10).

Charles H. Spurgeon said: “There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.”

Jehoash, in today’s text, showed Amaziah the folly of his challenge. “Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?”

The root of sin is in the heart, from which it flows. The Bible underscores Amaziah’s sinful state. Even when he was said to have done what was right in the sight of the Lord, his heart was not right while doing it. It is not providence that makes men proud, discontented, or arrogant, but their own hearts. The pride in the heart of the man at the helm of affairs in Judah led to serious losses when he instigated his men against another king: “And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.” This man subjected his people to unnecessary ridicule and humiliation.

Amaziah’s case should, therefore, be a strong lesson for us today; that success should not make us proud, aggressive, arrogant and troublesome. If he had heeded Jehoash’s advice and stayed at home, he would not have disgraced himself and his people. Whatever we achieve, we should always remember that God is the source. We must, therefore, learn to be humble and ascribe glory to God from whom all success flows.

Thought for the day: It was pride that changed angels into devils; so watch it.

YOU CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 1 Samuel 17:45 

Sometimes the battles of life can seem overwhelming. It is reassuring in such times to read the account of David's victory over Goliath to understand that nothing is too big for God.

David was a teenager who was already deeply committed to the Lord because of the many nights he invested intimately seeking God while shepherding sheep.

In those lonely night moments, he learnt to trust in the Lord for protection and safety.

He also used his time profitably to perfect his skills at shooting out stones from the sling so that he could protect the sheep under his care.

When David least expected it, God opened a monumental door for him. His father wanted him to run an errand and take supplies to his older brothers who were engaged in a very tough contest on the battlefield.

When he got to the battlefield, he saw a big problem in the form of a gigantic giant called, Goliath.

He did not only feel compelled to fight for what he knew was right but he was eager to bring the big giant down. In the end, David achieved a victory of monumental proportions.

David responded, as we all should, to our Goliath life struggles. He made a positive faith confession in the face of daunting odds.

He relied on the power of God and boldly confronted his challenges with faith. He invested countless hours in intimacy with the Lord.

He won because the battle outcome had already been settled on his knees before the Lord
.
Prayer: Thank You Lord, that in Your presence I am renewed to win all my battles.
