Summer Fruit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My mango slicing technique stinks, but by the third fruit I was doing an adequate job of slicing the mango off the pit with skin still attached, criss-cross slicing the flesh attached to the skin, popping the skin inside out and deftly lobbing off nice chunks of fruit. I confess, I am still not very ‘deft’ but the resulting dish was delicious.<\/p>\n

Black Bean and Mango Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A simple recipe courtesy of Mark Bittman: a can of rinsed black beans, a deftly sliced mango or two, scallions, mint, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice. (Thank you,\u00a0Kitchen Express<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0I also made a lassi\/smoothie with mango and mint with a batch of yoghurt that never quite turned solid enough (though it worked well for salad dressing) \u00a0blended together with ice. Lovely.<\/p>\n

I also snipped at the herb pots with my scissors and made this beverage with my clippings – a concoction of lemon verbena and lemon balm and mint, a good squeeze from the rest of that lime and a dollop of honey blended up with some ice.<\/p>\n
