i avoided the darker ones, thinking they were rotten; now, i have a pile of unripe avocados. and, i put them in tupperware containers, concerned they were going to darken.
it seems like i'm going to need to wait for these to darken up a bit before i eat them, and that i should probably actually leave them out so they can.
there's one that looks almost ripe. i'm going to try it...
