Snow, Snow and More Snow

 

Remember yesterday when I didn't want to get out of bed and open the blinds?  This morning my personal, handsome hunk of a barista a.k.a my hubby, brought me my morning coffee and opened the blinds.  I was met by HUGE white flakes heavily falling to the ground.  Alas my spring menu plans still prevailed (insert evil laugh).  Yes, I will overcome you Old Man Winter.  I will not hunker down with my tail between my legs.  I will trudge on through your snow and chilly winds and keep on keepin' on!  In fact, just to spite you, I brought out all of the fruit from my fridge and I created Fresh Fruit with Lime Gastrique.  How does that make you feel?

If you're like me and you have never cut up a mango before.  I found this step by step guide really helpful:  http://homecooking.about.com/od/howtocookbasics/ss/cutmango.htm

Note:  If you are making this anywhere around children, don't turn your back on them.  They will steal your fruit!

~ Enjoy!
