Mango Madness!

photo and more info found HERE

I've gone crazy for mangos. It's a fruit that in the past I have rarely purchased. I like mango flavor and usually if I have something mango it is mango "flavored". Well I bought one and Hubby and I shared it, even though I didn't really want to share. I cleaned the pit, alright, I'll admit it, I sucked on it until it was clean. hahaha The pit has kind of a pine taste to me and I love it. Wish I could crush it up and use it as a seasoning. I wonder if anyone has ever done that. The next day the pit had opened and inside was a pod. I put it in an empty pot that I had previously killed something else in barely under the soil. Within days it was sprouting. You know I do NOT have a green thumb so this is thrilling.
Look! Today it's even bigger!
I bought 3 more mangos and I may have to paint a mango tree! AND I am going to try not to love it to death. Aren't they awesome looking?

I Need More...

... well... lots of things but fruit is definitely something I don't eat enough of! Videos like this one doesn't help any, it just makes fruit a little creepier for me. haha I won't even get into Fruit of the Loom or California raisins. Whenever I do eat fruit, I love it, and I think to myself, dang! I'm going to eat more fruit, but it never works out that way. It's so sweet and I am not a big sweets person. I get my sweets in the form of bread, noodles, potatoes, etc... My Mom came out and stayed with me for a few months after my brother died and after a month or so she asks me if I ever eat fruit! haha I ate some that day & washed it down with a little guilt. ;) I do buy it, (mostly apples & bananas) but if the guys don't eat it, it just gets thrown out to the squirrels & other varmints around here. I like to buy apples because those last the longest & look so pretty on my tiered fruit plates. I eat them with my eyes. ;) Maybe I'll make a big fruit salad & keep it in the frig? Got a good recipe for me? Do you eat your daily servings of fruit? Hope your day is "fruitful". ( You know I couldn't resist that right?!) haha
