I have these often and usually share them with a friend of mine but this person is apparently very busy at the moment so I thought I would share them with you.
I was making my breakfast this morning, the usual, coffee, bread of some sort and a piece of fruit. Usually it is a banana or a small cup of applesauce, grapes if they were good, today it was a mango.
The mango was only introduced to me about 5 or 6 years ago from my MIL. My mom never gave them to me when we were growing up, not sure why, she never did tell me but whatever. I like mangos but I hate the process of finally getting to eat a mango. First thing in the morning, I want food and I want it now!! This is why I struggle to make eggs in the morning, you have to cook them (I'm slightly lazy, can you tell? and very cranky if I don't get food and coffee first thing).
Anyways, I saw the mango there last night and I thought that I'm going to have the tomorrow cause I'm not throwing it away because I was lazy as I have been bitten my green bug and refuse to waist anything that can be eaten or recycled.
I wake up, start my coffee, and look for the potato peeler to peel my mango. Another thing that I'm not a big fan of is slimy stuff. Just don't like the way it feels. So I start to peel the mango, doesn't take long. I cut all the pieces off and I cut everything off. I cut it down to the pit. There wasn't much left on that thing when I was done with it.
Once I was finished with my mango, I put my whole wheat bagel (doing the diet thing too, as always) in the toaster and wait. Everything is all set and ready to go. I eat the bagel first then on to the mango.
WHAT A MANGO!!!
It was so good, I had almost forgotten what it tasted like. I really enjoyed my mango.
I think the mango is like alot of things in life, you have to work at what is really good. So I encourage you to try something you haven't had in a while. What is your mango?
