breakfast is lovely array of foods:
vanilla yogurt/muesli soak, 1/2 ezekiel english muffin with almond butter, banana, and raisins, and cooked! mango with honeyi pulled the mango out of my fridge with expectations of its sweet, soft, and juicy flesh, but i knew as soon as i touched it that it was not ripe. i was obviously not paying attention when i stuck it in the fridge last week... and now that i think about it i remember as i was buying it picking one not quite ripe so that i would have more time before i had to eat it... and i definitely intended on putting it in my fruit bowl vs. the fridge...
i tried cutting it but it was more crunchy than soft. i was about to give up when i decided hmmmm i wonder what would happen if i put it in the microwave. so i zapped it for a minute. it was mostly soft, but not quite soft enough. then i added on a T or so of honey and put it back in the microwave for another 45 seconds. this time, it was SOFT! and quite tasty!


i haven't packed lunch yet, so i'll have to figure out this whole go to work vs. stay at home thing. i see my nutritionist at 9 today (so glad, so glad), so i have some time to think about it, although normally i'd be connecting to my work computer before the appointment to get started on a few things...
wow I never thought about microwaving a mango...do you think this could work with pears too??? I feel like those things take forever to ripen.
