Excitement! Harvest
day. Doin’ the mango dance!
Lipton takes out the
pole he concocted just for picking mangos and heads to the orchard; orchard of
one tree. I thought he’d have to climb the ladder but the mangos were hanging
so low that it wasn’t necessary.
The key to
harvesting mangos is not to take them all at once. Take a few each day and
there’ll be plenty of mangos for breakfast, lunch and dessert.
Today, the mangos
Lipton picked weren’t quite ripe. They were perfect though for Mango Achcharu, the popular mixture of
mango pieces, salt and chilli powder.
Once in the
kitchen, Lipton went to work, peeling one mango and, adding salt and chilli
powder, tasting and adding more salt. The rest we’ll keep until they ripen! Yum, yum!
Good catch!
Another good catch!
Oops, missed.
Where are the good ones?
Today's harvest.
Lipton, such a good harvester!
The fun is about to begin!
Peeling.
Slicing.
Dicing.
Add salt.
Add chilli powder.
Almost done!
Mix.
And taste.
Yum!
My turn to try.
Eeesh! Sour! But good!
Even Toby has to get into the act.
Toby loves it, but no chilli and salt for him.
Finished!
