"It's a sin to live in this city during mango season and not eat them until you're sick." - Kym
Taking this to heart, I bought 30+ mangoes at the market on Saturday.
How could I not??? The really ripe ones were 20 toea each (about AU 9 cents each) and the less ripe ones were 50 toea each (about AU 22 cents each). And the smell, people, the smell! I did also buy three giant cucumbers and a big bunch of lemongrass. Do you see any lemongrass?
On Sunday, I realised that I didn't quite know what to do with them all. I pulverised half of them in my little mini food processesor, and ended up with 2 litres of delicious golden mango pulp. Plus a few litres on me, and all over the kitchen. Thank goodness for haus meris.
But I'm out of vodka and I have two litres of delicious golden mango pulp. What to do? What's the point of 2 litres of delicious golden mango pulp when there's no vodka? Sure I can mix it with icecream, but it would be so much better with icecream and vodka.
So Kristen ate/drank/consumed a bit of it when she got home. I physically couldn't have any more after chopping up and sampling so many bits of mango, and being covered from head to toe with mangoey goodness. I was truly delicious. Not that I would know, because that would be wrong. And far too difficult.
2 litres of delicious golden mango pulp minus a few spoonfulls = ...still lots of delicious golden mango pulp.
And then we made mango chicken.
Still no difference.
And then we made yummy drinks with it.
Tiny dent achieved.
Anyone for delicious golden mango pulp? I still have 15 mangoes left!!!
Mmmmm, mango....

First of all, there is the Deliciousness. One can buy a watermelon, and even say "I carried a watermelon", any day of the week. And a delicious watermelon it will be, especially if one taps it before purchase to make... [Read More]
