mango

who knew that it would take me 30+ years to discover mango ... do mangos even make it as far as cobourg, ontario?

i had never heard of them (well, i had, but it never stuck on my very local radar) until eating at 'curry in a hurry' in guelph (ca 1996), where i tasted lynn's mango juice. hated it. never tried it again until we ate them at lynn's uncle's place in sydney last year. i was indifferent at that time.

on sunday, i cut my first mango. today, my second, and i did a pretty lousy job. i have the stains on my sock and pants to prove it. it's not as easy as people make it look.

more importantly, it's now my new favourite fruit. yumm.
