mangos anyone?

this is edwardo

our little neighbor.

i told him that i wanted to take a photo 

of a mango for my 365 shot and

he tagged along.

he picked up these two nice ripe ones 

and said,

'hey deb, you could take one of me holding them"

isn't he adorable?!

an interesting thing about edwardo is that  his mom is honduran

and his dad is dutch.

he speaks english, spanish and dutch fluently.

today i said to him.

'who do you think you get your cuteness from?

your mom or your dad?'

he broke out laughing and said,

deb, i get my cuteness from school!

see.. cute kid!!!  :-)

today i learned a new way to eat mangos.

okay, normally i don't like them because they can

be stringy (not all of them, but we have 5 trees on the property

and 3 of them are stringy.)

believe me, 

we have ALOT of mangos right now!

these need to ripen up, of course but we have so many!

alot of the spanish come and 'help themselves'

because there is no way we can eat them all

anyways, here is the trick:

get a ripe ripe mango

squeeze the living daylights out of it,

roll it on a table,

just make it JUICY!!

then bite the top part of the skin off

and suck the juice out.

it is a honduran 'juice box'!!

works great,

so fresh 

 so juicy

and no strings attached!!
