A waste of mangoes

Posted on January 25th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

<sigh> I miss the Philippines and mangoes that ripen beautifully. I tried one of the mangoes today, and it wasn't sweet. I should've checked the others regularly.

Next time: put them all in the fruits compartment instead of leaving them out (remember, indoor heating makes it _warmer_ than home!), and check them every day.

If I find a proper mango here, I'm going to splurge on getting it.
