MANGOES!

If you know me then you know that the fruit object of my attention lately has been mangoes. The Ataulfo Mangoes are everywhere now. They are currently 5 for $5 at Whole Foods so I have been buying about 10 everyday or every other day. That's $1 each. Steal of a deal. Sorry bananas, I see you over there on my shelf, and I will enjoy you every once in a while, but my heart is with the mangoes right now. I hope you understand, considering you had me all winter.

Since rekindling my seasonal relationship with mangoes, I have learned a few things that I would like to share with you. Who knew you could learn so much from a single fruit?!

1) Not much makes me happier than thinking I only have 3 mangoes, then finding 7 more dispersed throughout our three vehicles.

2) These are the two best ways to eat mangoes: Naked and in the bath tub (or both considering you will most likely be naked if you're in the bath tub). It's the best. You don't have to worry about all the juice getting all over your clothes and face. You can just chow down freely and jump in some water afterwards...or just wash it off in the tub.

3) Don't eat mangoes and drive. You WILL avoid the steering wheel in an attempt to not get it sticky with your mango hands...and I don't advise avoiding the steering wheel while driving.

4) Don't eat mangoes and text. Again, unless you want to deal with a sticky mango phone, wait until your hands are clean.

5) My breath sometimes smells like my boyfriends junk after eating mangoes. Don't worry, the mangoes smell great. This just means I have a boyfriend with fruity junk.

6) The check out clerk will most always be confused as to what you are doing with so many mangoes.

7) Biting into an unripe, sour mango will borderline piss me off.
