Ärende: Green mango 497
=======================
 JW> Loblaws: This week's new thing is yellow skinned Ataulfo mangoes
 JW> rather than the more common Tommy Atkins ones. I picked up three and
 JW> tried one tonight. Firm but less fiber even when gnawing on the
 JW> seed, but also less sweet and juicy so I'm not sure if I like them
 JW> more or not.

If those are the ones I'm thinking of, they should be very soft
and sweet - the ones I've had in Asia have been; perhaps they
don't ripen so well off the tree.

Rockefeller. From some perspectives it appears that he was
pulling the strings from the get-go. There are those who would
have us believe that he was extra skillful and made limoncello
out of what life gave him; I'm a little more suspicious than that.

 ML> Cynar
 JW> An amaro I have not yet tasted. I like bitter flavours such as are
 JW> found in vermouth and Campari but am reluctant to buy a whole bottle
 JW> of a liqueur made from artichokes.

It's semi-nasty by itself, but there are those who claim
that its green slightly medicinal quality adds something
to some cocktails.

 JW> I usually have one oddball liqueur or spirit on hand along with the
 JW> basic bar everyone should have. Last summer it was Campari, this
 JW> winter it was Benedictine. This week, for the first time in years,
 JW> it's a bottle of Midori, so I am awash in a sea of melon Daiquiris
 JW> Margaritas and Tiki drinks.

I could see Roslind drinking things made with Midori,
but not you or me.
