Though half those words were suggested by JB in our last brainstorming session. Still, they are now Proper Words rather than Notes.

I had two passionfruit (passionfruits?) as part of my dinner. Passionfruit is (are?) one of those kind of fruit (my grammar is confused) - I like them best fresh, by themselves without anything else. Passionfruit sprinkled on other things (such as pavlova or fruit salad) leaves me completely unmoved, and as for passionfruit flavour - bah! So I kind of surprised myself by actually enjoying the by-themself fruit, freshly chopped open and digging out the insides with a spoon.

I'm kind of like that with mango too; mango-flavoured things leave me unmoved, but the whole eating fresh mango experience is YUM. And the only reason I haven't made any mango sorbet yet is because my fresh-fruit-and-veg mixed-box delivery hasn't delivered me any mangos yet. Hmmm. Surely I have them listed as a fruit I like? Maybe they're too expensive to be included. After all, this isn't Queensland.

I have a couple more ice cream experiments to post, but I get the impression you're all bored with them. Problem is, I still want to post them so that I have them all in one place (under the "ice cream experiment" tag)

I don't know. Sometimes I read your experiments, but as I do not make my own ice-cream (and in fact am not much of a cook), it's not all that interesting to me (except insofar as you seem to get a kick out of doing it!).

Post away about your ice-cream ... it's your journal, for you, not us!

I don't suppose you want to know that we have 3 mango trees in the backyard, and are suffering a mango-glut? Steve has been preserving them!

Steve has been preserving them!
That seems strange, somehow; preserved mangos...

He has a pressure cooker and the proper jars, etc ... it's like canning, as you would for peaches ... add syrup and boil. You can buy tinned mangoes ... they're not too bad.
