| Mango madness |
We drove to Pine Island the other day and bought 11 different varieties of mangoes at the farmer's market. We'd never heard of most of them so the grower wrote the name of each mango on its skin. There's a Beverly, a Choc, a Carrie, a Hatcher, a Keitt, Kent, Lancetilla, Tommy Atkins, Valencia Pride, a Wise, for which we could find no description, and a Nam Doc Mai, a Thai mango that is supposed to be the best of all. They will probably all ripen at once. That's the madness.
We also re-visited our favorite hurricane specter, a house in Pirate Harbor that was destroyed by Hurricane Charley back in 2004. More on that later and the manatees.

Which reminds me I need to go pick up another cantaloupe. I don't think I've ever eaten a mango in its basic form like this. All they seem to have at the city market is a bunch of Arkansas tomatoes.
For the most part, the only mango that makes it to the US is the worst one, the Tommy Atkins. Damn shame.
