Our local produce store KC's has a FB page that I check daily. Mr. Charles who owns KC's posts daily specials. A flat of mangos were on sale for 12.99.  

I like mangos but I can NOT cut a mango the proper way BUT my Thai Sister Mei can!!!!!!!!

I picked her up so she could pick out the best mango's ( I'm not good at that). We got our flat which consists of 31 mango's. 

Half was suppose to be for me and the other half for Mei. She came over about a half hour after we got home with two HUGE bags of cut up mangos.

I made MANGO GUMMIES and also took about four of the cut up mangos and added them to the dehydrator.

I gave Mei half of the gummies and dried mangos. 

We still have half a flat left. Any mango recipes posted after this one will be from the flat I bought at KC's.

Bonus: I used one of my fresh limes from my 40 year old tree.  We almost lost the tree a few years ago ( our fault -we had it in the shed when we had a freeze but DUMB us left the windows open). It's coming back❤❤❤❤
