Mango for Snacking

Okay, we went to #Aldie today and I was so glad that the mango is only $1.19, way better than $1.99 price right? I bought 3 and I can't contain myself from eating one when we arrived home. I also bought plantain for snacks later. It's been a long time that I bake a cake. I am not too fond of sweets and that probably hinders my enthusiasm to bake a cake.

Anyway, for now I am savouring the taste of this semi-ripe mango. Oh so good ... really! The taste is sweet and there's a bit of crunch to it in every bite. You will get this texture if you pick a semi-ripe mango. The green and un-ripe is not sweet at all and all you will get is the sour taste. This is good because the combination is perfect and it will just explode in your mouth hahaha sweet and sour combo. You will know what I mean if you are drooling right now and craving for mangoes LOL. Anyway, thanks for stopping by in my blog. Enjoy your day.

Oh so Yummy Mango

Oh my goodness, this mango is so good. I bought this mango for $1.99 and since it was expensive, I bought one. The price could go down to .99 cents so; I will be back in few days for sure. After I ate the last slice, I wanted to eat more huhuhu.

This mango is truly delicious. I used the soy sauce with a bit of sugar and vinegar dip, added a kick of chili in it too. This is my favorite snacks back home. On summer time, mangoes are so affordable. How about you? Do you like mangoes?

Salmon and Sauteed Asparagus

We went to BJ's the other day and saw a fresh Salmon fillet about $13. I was thinking to make a Grilled Salmon and make a Bok Choy (Pechay) soup as well. Though it was a scorcher yesterday, we had a wonderful lunch at the gazebo. Here's what we have on the table: Sweet Mango for dessert; Grilled Salmon; Salmon and Bok Choy Soup, Filipino Chorizo; and Sautéed Asparagus.
