Good Mango Day

In America, people talk about having a good hair day or a bad hair day.
In Ethiopia, I've been judging the day by whether the mango half we get
for breakfast is good or not. To paraphrase John Bender in the movie The
Breakfast Club, "There are two kinds of mangos in the world. There are
good mangos and there are mangos that were once good, but have become
brown and mushy... but you can still sort of see the healthy orange
mango inside." Yesterday's mango, having lost it's orange effervescence,
was uninvitingly mushy and brownish in areas, although there were a few
spots of saving grace. Luckily, today was a good mango day; the fruit
soft at the top--almost like a thick mango gelato--so your spoon easily
slices through, and down lower, closer to the skin, like a mango sorbet,
so you cut across with your spoon sideways. Breakfast at Chez Glo is
also always accompanied by a glass of juice...yup, you guessed it, mango
juice.
