Van's Tropical Mango Salad

Me and my mom were babysitting my six-month old nephew, watching him try to eat both his little feeties, and I said, "Hey mom, why don't you let me try to make him sleep and you go make us a salad?" She agreed and went off to the kitchen.

I wrestled with my nephew DJ, (cool name for the nephew of a DJ, huh), anyway ... I rocked him and let him hear my heartbeat. I have a heart murmur so it must've been playing his song because he was OUT in 3 minutes.

She yelled from the kitchen, "IT'S READY INGA!" I ignored her because she was just about to ruin my baby magic. She came in the room and continued to yell, "INGA!!" I shooshed her and she heard the baby snores, little precious!

Anyway, as he slept and we watched Oprah I ate the salad. It was so delicious, I felt like I was at a restaurant. Here is how you make Van's Tropical Mango Salad. Might not be as good because the mangoes came from the backyard, but you can try ... =)
