Fun with fruit

This afternoon I ate a bowl of tiny, sweet strawberries with whipped cream. Heavenly. And I still have a bowlful left over for tomorrow. I also have some tiny peaches and some mangoes. I'm trying to eat, or at least try, everything that comes in my weekly vegetable box, especially since I switched the type of box I get, but that's sometimes difficult. Take mangoes. Mangoes are a fruit that I like in principle, but I never seek them out. I've only ever had them in restaurants, or at a friend's house. Tonight I had a mango that was obviously ripe, so I decided to eat it. I did know that I needed to peel it, which I did. At that point I had a long slippery object and a knife, and I discovered, when I tried to cut it, that mangoes have a giant seed or something inside them. I couldn't slice it straight through. I kind of shaved it, and got slices of mango that way. (This was a yellow mango, not an orange one, if that makes a difference.) It was delicious, but I have no idea of the right way to slice a mango. Suggestions?

Michael on David Letterman

This is a clip from several years ago. I don't know who the comedian is, but Michael shows up about two thirds of the way through. The comedian is being trained to be a U.S. Marshal, and this was shot while Michael taught at the training academy in Georgia.
