Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

come to a boil. Correct the seasoning and keep the soup warm. Peel
the remaining 1/2 avocado and cut it into tiny cubes. Sprinkle with
remaining lemon juice and add them to the soup just before serving.
Serve the soup garnished with chives and a spoonful of whipped cream.

Fraiche for the whipped cream and fresh chervil for the chives.
