That’s really interesting John because we’ve been told here that green mangoes cause stomach aches (which I already have enough of). The girls at the Hogar always climb way up in the trees as soon as the mangoes start appearing such that there are never any actually left by the time they should be ripening. Usually after 3 or 4 they start complaining of stomach aches and get yelled at for eating the mangoes. I wonder if our mangoes are different? Or if it’s a quantity issue?

There must have been a lot of damage to other crops meaning lean months coming up for the farmers.
Too bad!
Relax with your 95 degrees (although humid). We were at Lucas Slabinski’s one year b.d. party today and his uncle Adrian said it was to be 115 in Phoenix today; expected, but still extreme.

You might try one at first – but use a good knife.

These were more like little rocks. I don’t know if you could cut them.

Here in Central America we eat green mangos – usually with salt and chili powder, and – I think – a bit of lemon juice. It’s a big treat here. So eat up the green mangoes even though you might not have ripe ones in October.
