one thing that I miss about living in NQLD is picking crates of free mangos with the kids each year
for months we'd have
dried mango strips
mango ice cream
mango sorbet
fresh mango
mango fruit salad  
mango smoothies

top that with loads of paw paw and sometimes I would be looking somewhat yellow!

my favourite was one called 'strawberry' mango
small yellow and pink and very sweet fruit and skin (I use to eat the skin) - from huge old trees

the trees are gone now and there is a block of flats there  
but we have fond memories so the trees live on in our stories

:drooling: gee that all sounds good, might see how we go when they come on RG, but no promises mate :blush2: But I don't think I could eat the skin, I strip every bit of mango off but couldn't eat the hard skin.

Very nice AJ ...... Go Man Go!!!

:dontknow: but it looks like it's no mango's for you but I'm SURE I could find some for the GOOD Unicorns down your way :angel: :laugh2:

I have a second grandchild.  Little Skylar made her way into our world on Sunday.  Mother and family are fine. I am being the supportive grandmother and enjoying that. Have cooked up a couple of meals that have even impressed me.  Melbourne truly does have 4 seasons in a day! Cheers robbie
