yea, theyre great dehydrated. I've mashed em up with scotch bonnets, cooked it to reduce a bit, and then dried the mush to make spicy mango fruit roll ups (fruit leather).

That sounds like a healthy and tasty treat Frydad. Back in San Antonio I used to get chili covered dried plums and figs. Figs had more of a sweet chili covering while the plums were more a chili lime covering. They were good though.
 
I really have to stop reading these threads.... too much work and homework to do any cooking or plotting in the kitchen these days. But dried chile-lime mangoes sounds amazing.....
 
Man, just getting around to looking at the final entries from the weekend. Good job, everybody!

Our TD was massively fun. Was good having SB up here in the Dirty South. Much debauchery ensued...great times.
 
hey 5-O and SumB, have you guys sobered up yet? It's almost time to start on this weekends shenanigans.

Looks like you guys had a great time and the food from everyone last weekend is keepin' it HOT!
 
logchief can't make the Cajun TD 4th weekend, any takers? If you are not signed up already.
 
I am sad to hear LogChief can't make the Cajun TD. I know that his real-life work involves wildfires and there's also a grandbaby on the way.

Whatever the situation, LogChief, my thoughts are for you and your family's good health and welfare.

LC, I hope we are still on for the fall visit when you come to WA!
 
So looks like I'm on for this weekend with Salsalady
we're cooking with Mangos, but what exactly are we meant to be cooking?
this is only the second throwdown I've entered and its all new to me
 
Cook anything spicy with mangos in it.
Has to have mangos, has to have hot peppers, has to have "proof of life" money in a teaser pic.
You can make anything you want, but you better bring it! Salsalady is fierce competition.

Peep this...
Where I live used to be mango and avocado fields. I have a nice, tropical back yard with several avocado and mango trees that must be 75 years old. They have been cut down many times, you can tell by looking at the trunk.
But they are 40 feet tall and produce some of the most delicious fruit I have ever had. The fruit fall to the ground when they are ready. In the middle of the night, every night, 5-6 mangos pound on my roof right above where I sleep.
Gives me a good excuse for wetting the bed.
The biggest problem is that the mangos all drop in a 3 week span. Here is 2 days bounty, minus what I've already eaten, frozen, given away, or not picked yet.

My offer still stands to represent LC if there are no other takers.

The project we've been working on here in Nawlins is completed (and the company didn't win the bids they had out for new work), so moving back to the hacienda in Texas this weekend...

...next weekend I'll be back and setup in my home kitchen ready to do battle. :dance: :woohoo: :dance:
 
FD4- I'm envious of you right now, but I can imagine that it can be too much of a good thing with a huge tree and huge harvest.





JungleRain- THP will start a thread for us sometime Friday for the Mango TD and we have until sometime Sunday to make our dish and post the pics in that thread. Proof-of-life (usually some money amount) must be in one of the pics, doesn't have to be in all the pics. This one is a little different in that we can post as many prep/preliminary pics as we want, but the final post can only have 2 pictures of the completed dish along with a title for the dish, ingredients list and cooking description.


Luckily, I found some nice looking mangos at the store-

He's on his 'puter right now looking up recipes.

I'm still on assignment here in NM and AZ and know I won't be home before at least next Thur. or Fri. but could easily go longer. So I thought it best to bow out and take my lumps now so maybe someone else could have a crack at SL, but they better bring their lunch.

The fires probably knew I'd get my ass kicked so they saving me the shame of defeat, but they'll be a next time.

Sorry SL
 
I'm sorry you won't be able to TD, LogChief. There will be a next time, amigo. Be Safe.




Anyone Else want to try?

I know Coach does, THP offered it to newbies first. I'm planning on doing what I have planned whether there's a TD or not. Friends coming over for a Par-Tay!
