It is mango season here in Dominican Republic. I have been watching the trees in the park laden with mangoes. A soft green color just waiting for them to ripen.
It finally happened. They are ready for pickin’ and eatin’. Oh yeah!
I cannot reach the trees from the park. All the mangoes fall into the Marine base grounds so I got this young boy that lives somewhere around there to get me some. I gave him a large bag from the Colmado and Teli (my dog) and I waited for Jimmy to return.
He came back in about 20 minutes with a bag full of mangoes! They smelt sooo good. I gave him some money for it. He was happy and so was I.
I was told that Dominican dogs love mangoes. My Teli is a Dominican dog but she turns her nose up at them. I kept trying to give her one and she finally gave me the look telling me “Thats enough! I do not want a stupid MANGO!”
Now I had to figure out what to do with all these sticky fibrous amazing fruits. Posted on Facebook to ask friends and I took a few of their ideas.
I made mango salsa. It was really good. I would have never thought that a sweet and a spicy would go together.
I made mango ice milk ice cream and froze it.
I made mango smoothie shakes which I love with any fruit I have at the time.
I made mango bread.
Today Ill make a mango enchilada.
Who knows what tomorrow mango goodies we will come up with…
This was my breakfast – All Things Mango. By the way, that is not mango coffee. I had to put my foot down someplace.
