Do you or does anyone you know have an avocado addiction? Do you know the symptoms or where you can seek help?

Hello, my name is Seth, and I have an avocado addiction.

Around my house, avocados don’t stand much of a chance. We try to make a salad several nights a week, and they always make an appearance in the salads. Now, it seems, they are making their way into other dishes (although, this one is still a salad, just not of the green variety).

Wait, this post is supposed to be about corn salad isn’t it? Well, there is a cup of avocado in it… I will admit that at first, I wasn’t excited about this dish. Mayo-ey salads are usually not my thing, but Abby insisted that we make it. As I went back for seconds, I kept telling myself, “but avocados are good calories, right?”
