I have such a love for mangoes. It took me years to even think about trying them. I have no clue why. I didn’t think they would be gross, I just didn’t grow up on them and really didn’t think about branching out from my favorites. Anyway, I love it now and the other night we knew we wanted steak for dinner, but I wanted to jazz it up a bit. We decided on a Grilled Flank Steak with Mango ChimiChurri and we looooooved it.
The mango chimichurri is so flavorful and perfect for a summer evening.
In other news, I just finished reading, Unbroken. Tell me you’ve read it. Isn’t it incredible?
You can’t help but ache for all of those solidiers, POWs and their families. What a horrendous ordeal.
And just think, crazy things are happening every day and their stories will never be told here on this earth. Our world truly needs more good in it. I love the thought that each of us can be true for just one day, then the next, and the next, and so on. If you haven’t read the book you should. It is so inspiring. I cannot help but think about how truly blessed we are in so many ways. Whether you have everything or nothing at all it is probably more than what Louie had to endure and we are probably not being tortured, humiliated, beaten etc. It becomes far too easy to forget to be thankful. I hope I can continue to be grateful for what I have and the people surrounding me. I have no need to be someone big, rich, famous and to have a home that is exquisite and travels that amaze. I would much rather be the best that I can be, and do a little good around me. Just think, if we all gave up a little and took better care of one another our own lives would be happier, healthier and more peaceful which would slowly begin to spread to those around us and so forth. We can do and be so much more than we are today. Don’t you think?
Anyway, back to the food… A great side dish would be something like Bush’s Fiesta Beans. Grillin’ Bold this Memorial Day? Bush’s has the beans for it. Come join the cookout with Cookin’ Canuck and Hoosier Homemade sponsored by Bush’s Grillin’ Beans
