It seems like one day they're too hard, and then suddenly they're all soft and bruised and mushy. I solved this problem by not buying them, for the most part. Maybe I should take a closer look at the guide. :p I have problems with my pears a lot of the time. It seems like one day they’re too hard, and then suddenly they’re all soft and bruised and mushy.

When I try and plan ahead -- i.e. buy an under-ripe one a week in advance to let sit on the counter, nary a one to be found. And when I plan last minute for avocados they're all under-ripe! Every once in a while I have success retarding the ripening process by putting them in the fridge. Avocados are the most difficult!
