i love peaches, apricots, mangoes, and, well a lot of other
fruits besides, but we don't really get very good ones that
often. the best fruit i get here are the strawberries i grow
and the blueberries when they come in season, but this past
year the blueberries were really bad quality-wise. i think due
to the virus the pickers just weren't experienced or paid well
or whatever it was but they just were ick too much of the time.
we still ate them, but i had to work through the cartons a lot
to get the decent berries apart from the others that were in
bad shape. one carton was so bad it had fruit fly maggots in
it, but i got the apart and we ate what we could.

anyways, back to mangoes, yeah, i could eat a lot more of
them than i do now.

nah, i'd have to do the salsa on the side as a chutney
instead. i don't really want those on the fish as it
would mask too much of the flavor of the fish.
