By Jennifer

Apparently, I've been preparing avocado all wrong. Usually, I just smash it up for a little tasty guac, but foodie Colette Dike makes art with avocados. She's seriously amazing with the little fruit, and here's why.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
