Mango season is moving north.
Each of these women is a private contractor, and they arranged it so that each of them got part of the cut from our purchase. Those piles of yellow mangoes up front? Each one was 100 kwacha. 1 USD = 145 Kwacha = one very excited Joh in extreme-glean mode. We got enough to eat like mad, freeze, give away. Anyone have any good mango recipes? Please share!
Of course, we all had to try one right away, tearing the skin off with our teeth and squeezing pulpy gold mash under our fingernails and up to our elbows.
So these guys let us share their well to rinse off.
Also didn't want to drive the hour and a half back to Lilongwe with muddy feet.

I love mangos how lucky to be surrounded by good people and delicious produce:) Your children are beatiful and you look like your doing a photo shoot for Anthropologie my favorite clothing store. Your a wonderful person Joh keep up the good work out there the world needs more people like you.
Joh and family! This is Kebai-from-Poky, I've become an addicted regular to your blog and am finally responding to the luscious mangoes; I am insanely jealous. As for a recipe: diced mango, lime juice, cilantro - served over black beans. Assuming black beans are available...did I just make myself sound naive?
