Friday Favorites

After feeling exhausted all week, I decided to take today off. Of course the Pups woke me up at 4:10am and would not let me go back to sleep...
At breakfast, Gladys' sister, Pauline, agreed to show me how she cuts up a Mango in seconds flat. She sure made it seem easy. It is Mango season now, so maybe I will pick some Mangos up off the street and practice preparing them...
also had my first Avocado Toast since being back...
Keeping with the theme of my vacation day, lunch was at De Coal Pot. First time there since being back. I think I am starting to feel 'normal' again...
En route back from lunch I picked up some Pineapples at a roadside stand. They said they were grown on Island, so it will be interesting to see if they are any good. 
While eating lunch at De Coal Pot, I noticed lots Soups being carried out, which was odd because there is no Soup on the menu. Turns out they have a Red Bean Soup that it is made vegetarian and they add the meat later. I got some to go for dinner. Unfortunately, the Soup was surprisingly sweet to my tastebuds, so I really shouldnt include this as a favorite, but I am posting about my day so there it is...
My Sweet Sweet Sadie is a huge favorite, she always makes my day. Lots more to come. Bye for now.

  1. I would eat so many more mangoes if I were better at cutting them, but it's a real struggle for me and I always feel like I waste a lot of the fruit. Those pineapples look nice and golden, I bet they'll be delicious!
    Sweet Sadie is very beautiful, her sweetness really shows! I'm glad you guys found each other!

    1. Yes, it is the waste issue with cutting up Mangoes. I guess you have to just accept it. Maybe a machine doesnt waste as much.

  2. Awww beautiful Sweet Sadie!! I love her face!!

    I am so glad that you got to take a day off. It seems like you had a really delicious day! Mangoes are so annoying to cut. It's why I spend a little more to have them cut for me haha. Lunch looks incredible and omg all of those pineapples!! I'd be in heaven! And I'd probably over buy because yum! I can't wait to hear how they are.

    1. The Pineapples were sweet! Such a hit or miss fruit. Get a bad Pineapple and there is a lot to throw away...

  3. Hooray for days off! You're off on Monday, too, right?

    I watched a YouTube video to learn how to cut mangoes. They are so yummy, but so slippery. I learned that you hold one side with a paper towel. Fresh ones are far superior to frozen!

    I hope you are fully recovered from your jet lag, and enjoying the fuzzies, the Mister, and your long weekend!

    1. Yep I had Monday off. Using a paper towel is a great idea to hold the slippery Mango, thanks!

  4. Oh i hope you do get good at cutting mangos! Last time i tried i hurt myself pretty badly... there's a mexican lady on the corner and she sells mango and cucumber slices with lime and chili powder- i always see her stab the mango with a long stick, then peel it with a peeler and cut it which seems clever.
    All those pineapples! On a tropical island you would expect they're good.
    Nice looking lunch there, too bad the soup wasn't what you expected

    1. I can see where a lot of people would get sliced from dealing with those delicious Mangoes. That Mexican lady sounds cool! What a neat way to make a living.
