My sis has a recipe for Mrs. D's rhubarb dessert that I used to love- wayyy too much sugar and butter for me now so I'll just do without. I did get a couple of mangos from my farm share and actually cut them up but I just don't care that much for fruit. I'm going to force myself to eat for the vitamin C though! I could make some mango salsa which I do like but then I'd want some tortilla chips to dip. Can't win.

I do cave on occasion with the raspberries to indulge my granddaughters.
