Definitely post the recipe!

A few weeks ago, came home to find a bag of mangoes on the front stoop. A few days later, the doorbell rang. Neighbor asked if we wanted mangoes. Big mango crop this year. Last year I did the same with my bumper crop of avocados.

I don’t know if this was previously posted, and if so, I apologize.

From Wikipedia:
Category 3
Sustained winds
50–58 m/s 96–113 kn
178–209 km/h 111–130 mph
Normal central pressure
945–964 mbar 27.91–28.47 inHg
Tropical cyclones of Category 3 and higher are described as major hurricanes in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins. These storms can cause some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings, particularly those of wood frame or manufactured materials with minor curtainwall failures. Buildings that lack a solid foundation, such as mobile homes, are usually destroyed, and gable-end roofs are peeled off. Manufactured homes usually sustain severe and irreparable damage. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures, while larger structures are struck by floating debris. Additionally, terrain may be flooded well inland. Near-total to total power loss is likely for up to several weeks and water will likely also be lost.[11]
Examples of storms of this intensity include Carol (1954), Alma (1966), Alicia (1983), Fran (1996), Isidore (2002), Jeanne (2004), Lane (2006), Karl (2010).
