I made mango bread! It is delicious!

Originally uploaded by tamaranash

When we were at Auntie Boni’s house for San’s birthday, she took us to the big mango tree. The day before, she had showed me the little mango tree and we collected some of those small mangoes you see in the bowl. So, the next day we collected some big mangoes from this enormous tree. Well, the mangoes have to fall so far to ground that they get pretty bruised up. So, when life gives you bruised mangoes, make bread!! That’s what Auntie has been doing so, I did, too.
Here’s the recipe I found on the internet:

Hawaiian Mango Bread Recipe #30296
On the Islands, it’s traditional to make and give this tropical fruit-nut bread as a gift. Imagine this bread toasted and buttered or made into French toast! From Sam Choy’s “Island Flavors”.
