Rain poured down the windows like a piece of silver silk rippling in the wind. The sky had grown dark only moments before, then suddenly the rain had come like water being dumped out of a bucket.
The house was dark now, except for the two lights I had turned on. All windows were shut tight against the flash storm.
Hmm. My jigsaw puzzle was at a standstill, when my tummy rumbled. Mangos! I had two of them. What a delicious before-dinner treat.
I went to the kitchen and found my peeler, a knife and a cutting board. Then I went to work. Take the peels off of the delicious teardrop-shaped fruit.
Perhaps it would be better to call them raindrop-shaped today, I smiled.
I took my knife and sliced the fruit, then cut it off of the long, thin seed.
I like nothing better than sweet and savory together, and my boyfriend's mother had just introduced me to sliced mango with a lime chili seasoning.
Chili powder, red pepper, lime juice and garlic salt came from my kitchen cupboards. Like little soldiers I lined them up. Ok, chili powder first. Mm, tastes like smokey on sweet. Add some lime juice. Tangy with smokey on sweet. Pretty good, but I think I can make it better. A little garlic salt should bring out the savory in the spices to balance out the sweet, juicy mango.
Yep, that's it! I found the perfect spice combo. My spicy fruit quickly disappeared as my fork zoomed back and forth from my bowl to my mouth. The succulent mango melted into zingy juice in my mouth. How soft. How luscious. How absolutely delicious! Perfect snack for my rumbling tummy. Mmm, satisfaction is here.
Another delicious and much quicker alternative is Tajin Clasico Seasoning with Lime. If you don't have a boyfriend with a Hispanic mother to buy it for you like I did, you can find it in Wal-Mart near the fresh fruit or in the Spanish foods aisle. You could also find it in a Mexican food store.
