Peeling Mangoes

Using a peeler, peel the mango. Then, hold the mango on the counter (works best if on a towel, or a paper towel) narrow edge and stem facing up. Get a good sharp knife and allowing about 1" in the middle, cut down on each side of the mango, so you have two 'halves' and the middle where the pit is. If you meet resistance, move the knife toward the outside of the mango until you can cut through. Then cut as much as you can off the pit. Slice and eat....oh yeah, either toss or plant (yeah, right) the pit. Patience is the key.
