Quick Tips:
To remove the avocado skin
Cut into the avocado lengthwise until you hit the pit. Rotate the knife around the entire pit until you have two halves. Carefully hit the pit with the knife until it punctures it. Turn the knife to pop out the pit. Push a spoon between the avocado and the skin and carve the avocado out of its skin. Discard the skin.

Fry one egg on thurday and the other one on friday or alternatively you can boiled two eggs at your liking and crack one open on thursday and one on friday.
Omit Lemon Juice and chili flakes if desired. Can use sweet potato hash browns as a base. Occasionally could use regular potato but that may send blood sugar up. To make hashbrowns I simply grate the potato and fry/saute it in a pan with butter.
