The bad news: That feeling of never-ending summer is here.

The good news: So is sweet corn season #2 and also watermelon!

Sweet corn has started popping up again recently, usually for about 100cfa an ear. Watermelons are piling up across Dakar.

A word of warning though, mangoes are on their way out so enjoy them while they last! If you have freezer space, you can buy up a couple (or more) kilos, peel and slice, place in baggies and freeze. Good quality mangoes hold up well in the freezer and can be thawed to eat later or blended up to make smoothies.

Ooh. Smoothies sound good today. Who’s got a good recipe?
