It's a great combination for both the tongue and the eyes. VeggieGirl, Glad you think so! Melody, Thanks so much! I'll take some "raw" inspiration from you as well. :) Romina, I never used to think about fruit in salads, but once I started adding them, I've found I want fruit in almost all my salads now. They really add something special (oh, and sweet--that must be it!) ;) Johanna, I hadn't thought of the recipe books from the 80s that way, but I see what you mean. More like the 1970s kitchen appliances around here, I'd think. . . ;) shellyfish, You've summed it up perfectly--that's the salad! Cecilia, Sorry to make you crave. . . but it's only a few more months, right? Lulu, Yep, that's the camera--are we using the same one?? ;) Lisa, Thanks! Summer refreshment is always a good idea. Giz, You're on--see next L.C. entry! CCV, You are a riot. I'm sure that cookbook would be a hit. . . ;) Lucy, I rarely have luck with fresh papaya (can't seem to figure out when it's ripe and they're always too far gone by the time I cut them open), though I do love 'em! And chocolate? Um, I'm afraid I haven't quite ousted it yet. . .though I'm aiming for moderation ;) . Claudia, Thanks so much! Glad you like the combo :) Cakespy, It was a bit of a surprise to me, too. . .but you can't beat the color combo! Tina,

What a great combination mangoes and avo's make. If you ever get paw paw's (papaya), slice one of those beauties in, too. Right. No more chocolate! Well, perhaps a little square here and there...you have done a brilliant job. Don't give up now!! I’d like to ride that wave of mint of yours, darls.

Why didn't I think to just stop by your place?! We used to grow mint, but my mom informed me that we stopped due to the fact that it was taking over the yard!
