Mango mania

We were going through some drawers today that had not been looked at in a loooong time. We found miscellaneous items: some books, tablecloths, candles, pictures, letters. The best of all was a pile of clippings of Grandma's. They were faded and bent. They were recipes. You won't believe what kind of recipes. The collection reminds me of Bubba's endless shrimp list in Forrest Gump.



Here's a list of the recipes we unearthed (I'm NOT making this up):
Mango Crisp
Mango Mousse
Mango Pie
Mango Macadamia Nut Bread
Mango Cheesecake
Mango Fritters
Mango Sherbet
Mango Milkshake
Mango Drink
Mango Upside-down Cake
Mango Leather
Mango Torte
Mango Stir-fry (eeew)
Mango Jam
Mango Banana Jam
Mango Topped Cheesecake (not to be confused with mango cheesecake above)
Mango Chutney
Mango Pizza (double eeew)
Mango Sour Cream Cake

I think Grandma likes mango. When we showed her these recipes, she got so excited (but also believed she had never seen such a gold mine of recipes before... the same goldmine which she herself put together some 10 or 20 years ago).
We have a mango tree in our front yard. Everyday she tells us to go outside and pick them, though they are still mostly green. She apparently has not lost her appetite for mangoes :)
