Ok, this may be the second best thing that you've all been waiting for.
Or maybe the 15th?

I dunno anymore.

Ok, this is the end result of the pic that I posted yesterday that definitively wasn't a revamped connect 4 game...

I'll talk you through it - from beginning to end, so as not to stress you out too much on a Sunday

This is a mango.

We have a lot of mango's. (approximate 30 tons last time we weighed them.)
I lied about the 30 tones, but it is a lot.

Okay, after slicing all the very ripe mango's and liquidizing them we (when i say 'we', I'm also lying. I didn't do jack shit), Luce then went onto stage 3? 4 ?..the next stage..

So....after dripping the liquid mango (nothing added, just pure fruit) into a 'thingy ma giggy' (not the correct term), but it's kinda like a cookie cutter thing, but you fill it up inside with liquid mango.

THEN...and only then - you lay it out on a sheet (as shown the photo I posted yesterday, and then bake the living shit out of them in the hot sun for 12 hours or so, until dry-ish and tacky.

Then you roll them up, and store them, and keep them forever as a healthy snack for up to 37 centuries, or so legend has it in these parts.

Generally, they never seem to see past a month or two before they're all eaten - because let me tell you something....

These little cigar shaped dried mango's, are more addictive than crack cocaine. (never try to smoke them though, it doesn't work).

..and just to show they are finished today....

(there is just no way I could have done that before the date specified, because never lie. Oh, and I use the normal dating pattern - not the USA, one.).

So there you have the mystery of the connect 4 game, that wasn't.
A unbelievably healthy snack - that last forever- and costs absolutely zero..

Well cookies was kind of sort of close. I didn't think of sun baked fruit roll-ups. They do look good though> A consistency question, about like that of licorice ropes?
