Mango Madness

Well i created a new one. I learned a trick in Mexico. Mango is good with cayenne pepper. I call it Mango Madness.

So last night i cut up about 8 or 9 mangos and put them in a bowl. Then i sprinkled a bunch of cayenne pepper on top of it. Add about 1/4 cup or so of lime juice... Then my secret. Put it in the freezer until its starting to get a little crunchy, but not quite frozen. Ends up looking almost like peach pie filling when done....It's good stuff. It's cold, doesn't burn your tongue, and warms up your throat and stomach just a bit.

My friend Phil's mango tree is almost ripe. I'm going to rape his tree in a week or two and make a ton of this stuff. I figure i could probably even freeze it and then just thaw it out when I want some...The probably with having a mango tree is that is drops mangos faster than you can eat them. I'm going to get a mango tree once I have a house, I'm actually growing a baby mango tree right now. I'm going to get a deep freezer and then I could make this stuff and have mango year round. That way I can keep all my mangos and not have to give them away or let the thieves have them.

It's also good to freeze and then throw into shakes. You just let it thaw a little bit so it's not rock hard. I do it with fruit all the time.

We are gonna have a lot of fun once I have a house because I'm going to have lots of fruit trees. When you guys come out again and I have mangos we will be living on mango shakes by the side of my swimming pool.
I'm going to get a huge freezer like grandma has and put it in my garage. Freeze my Mango Madness and all the pigs and turkeys and stuff I hunt. Food storage..
