Avocados and guacamole are as important to a Cinco De Mayo party as awesome Cinco de Mayo Invitations are to getting your guests excited and in the mood to party.
Something I didn’t know about avocados is that they do not ripen on the tree. Avocados “soften” or ripen after they have been harvested.
It can take up to four or five days at room temperature (around 65-75 degrees) to ripen firm, green unripe avocados. Storing them in the refrigerator can slow down the ripening process, so store them at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
If you can only find unripe avocados, the recommended ripening process is to place the unripe avocados in a brown paper bag with a banana or an apple for 2-3 days until they are ripe. Of course, you will need to have shopped a few days in advance of your party to try this.
If you wait until the last minute to buy avocados for your party, you might be visiting a few stores to find ones that are ripe and ready to serve.

The horses have stepped onto the track for the Kentucky Derby post parade and the band strikes up “My Old Kentucky Home.”
Unless you are from Kentucky, you might not know the words, so print off the lyrics below so your party guests can sing along.
————————–
My Old Kentucky Home
By Stephen Foster
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn-top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright;
By’n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night!
Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.
