Do you like mangos? I love them, but I've rarely bought them fresh
because of the difficulty of pitting and slicing them. That's all in the
past now, though! I'd read a rave review of the Oxo mango pitter and
took a chance. It works!!! Yippee! It takes that pit out as easily as
can be (leaving some fruit on the pit for munching on, of course), and
then it's a simple matter of scoring the fruit in the skin, turning the
whole thing wrong side out and slicing off the little cubes of luscious
mango. I'm in heaven!

You can have mine. Can't stand them. :)

Cute DH story about mangos, though. One time I'd been having an awful week,
and he really wanted to do something nice. So he stopped at the store to
pick up some sorbet for me. He came home with mango sorbet. I told him
"dear, that was really sweet, but mango is one of two fruits I simply cannot
stand."

He still wanted to do something nice, so the next evening he stopped at the
store again. And came home with passion fruit sorbet. "Uh, honey, do you
want to take a wild guess at what the other fruit I can't stand is?"

(He was awfully determined, though. The next evening he called from the
sorbet aisle of the grocery store). *grin*

Yeah, I'll keep him. :) (For the curious, the final flavor was peach. Yum!)
