Mmmmm It's Mango Season, again! Golden yellow/green orbs of delicious sweetness. The trees here in TS/Pescadero are full of Mangoes ripening and
falling on the ground. Watch out below! It's hard to eat them without smearing the juice all over your face and getting pulp in your teeth. Mmmm
sweet, juicy Mangoes! Tio Mexitron - 6-3-2010 at 04:47 PM
One of my fond memories of Cabo way back when is eating those sweet mangos and being covered in juice---we had to go jump in the ocean to cleanup!
Mulegena's Mango Facials

1- Mango Hydrating Masque:
Mix mango pulp with a bit of mayonnaise or olive oil.
Adds moisture to Baja-dry skin. Great in the winter.
2- Mango Clarifying Masque:
Mix mango pulp with fresh-squeezed lime juice.
Brightens and clarifies skin in Baja's hot summer.
3- Mango Exfoliating Masque:
Mix mango pulp with oatmeal and honey.
Remove superficial cells and stimulate circulation.
#1 and 3 you can also make quick-breads with and
#2 you can throw in a blender with some ice and tequila and really feel clarified!!!
stay away tomas

Keep away from those mangos Tomas. Next thing we'll see is you out by the road selling those things.
Go Lakers, we love LA!

Mango Margaritas!! Maybe I can sell them out on the road to augment my pension? Nothing like hangin out under the Mango trees on a hot afternoon.bajajudy - 6-6-2010 at 06:59 AM
For a nice presentation, cut them like this.

oh...mango madness...way back when I remember eating my first baja mango and thought....THIS is a heavenly fruit...how I wish I could LIVE in heaven
and just eat these things all the time.
Mulegena...great ideas...I think you should think about running a little spa here....baja gypsy does great seaweed wraps too!DianaT - 6-6-2010 at 07:35 AM
I love ripe mangoes --but in Honduras, they kept trying to get us to eat them when they were not yet ripe with powdered chili----never acquired a
taste for that.
But, I did learn to use the Mango tea for stomach problems and it worked!karenintx - 6-6-2010 at 07:54 AM
And for those who have not mastered the art of cutting a mango...
I am usually only in los barriles from Nov. to april but I am flying down next week to take care of some bussiness. Thank you for reminding me this
is mango season,I will probably eat way to many of them but o well.BajaBruno - 6-6-2010 at 09:22 PM
I love the little yellow ones--the big reddish ones I am not so fond of. I have no idea what either is properly called.Natalie Ann - 6-7-2010 at 07:11 AM
Ooooh mangoes - from San Bartolo - the big red ones when they're dead ripe sweet. Cut 'em the way Judi shows and sprinkle on a bit of chili power -
yum! Cut 'em into chunks and freeze them for future margaritas - or eat the frozen chunks like ice cream. Wow. I'm ready for some right now.

Those are usually quite a bit more expensive then the big ones. My neighbor, who is seldom here, has a huge tree with them. I yearly spend a few days
peeling buckets of them, then slicing and freezing them. The rest of the year we eat them frozen, like ice cream. They do not freeze solid, likely
because of the sugar content, and can be eaten with a spoon. Delicious !!!!
But..here in Loreto....at least another month before they start ripening.

Don't eat them all! We should be in Pescadero area at the end of the month...can't wait to go to the huerta for some mangoes!!
Don't know official names of them, but my hubby calls the big, red ones: Mangoes Manzana (apple mangoes).
We usually head out in the hills around Cabo to try and find the best, hidden mangoes. We try and get to Rancho San Francisco or Rancho San Felipe to
fight with the cows over the mangoes and buy some good ranch cheese (queso fresco). Often end up at the childhood home of some friends down there;
Sauzau. There's a little river that runs through, and the mango-picnic on the side of the water just makes the day! Can't wait to go back!...20 days
and counting!BajaBlanca - 6-7-2010 at 12:49 PM
well, if anyone is doing the Copper Canyon train ride now, be sure tp go down to Batopilas .. the trees were jam packed with ripe mangoes ....the
branches were hanging very low due to the weight sharktooth - 6-9-2010 at 08:36 AM
I am not a dermatologist, but mango slime is really good for your skin.
Long story, but many years ago my wife and I ended up smearing mango pulp all over our skin after devouring a few tasty mangos - and our skin was soft
as baby butts for a few days after...we used the pits like lufa sponges.bajajudy - 6-16-2010 at 07:15 AM
I would never even consider cutting a mango anywhere but over the sink.
Not old, but not ripe enough yet. At that stage they aren't very sweet.
When we cut mangoes, we have juice everywhere. Osprey - 6-16-2010 at 07:53 AM
I think me and my buddy Paul still hold the record for mango daiquiries at the Serenidad in Mulege. When we checked out, the bill showed we had
consumed, in one delicious night at the pool bar, 21 of the good golden things.
Most of my gringo snowbird neighbors are up north in the summer -- I just jump their fences and grab the big Kens just before they ripen, put em in a
plastic bag, eat one a day as they come to a delicious but firm ripeness from the seed outward.bajajudy - 6-16-2010 at 08:24 AM

I don't know about mango and the sun, but if you leave lemon on your skin and go in the sun - your skin will be marred foreversharktooth - 6-16-2010 at 10:21 AM
Hey Mulegena - use your imagination!irenemm - 6-16-2010 at 12:41 PM
My grandson eats them skin and all. He says the skin is good. Have not tried that.
In Hawaii last year you could just pick them up off the road. so good.
I make a mango cake that I have customers come twice a year from Tijuana for them . Pretty good.Heather - 6-16-2010 at 04:41 PM
Recipe on the mango cake? I've made a "pastel frio" with mangoes, and pudding, and cookies...but the cake sounds good!
I like to use mangoes when I cook pork, as a sort of sauce...yummy!BajaBlanca - 6-16-2010 at 04:49 PM
