Peaches are very very good. Mega yum. Sadly non-organic but I trust the grocer (supermarket).
organic mangos are also yummy - Manila

i still can’t find other mangos in my usual spots; I must branch out to Ranch 99 and other Asian grocery stores. I mostly don’t go because of extra distance and being able to otherwise get everything else at stores within a 10-minute drive.

I see mangos everywhere as they are in season...Trader Joe had a pile of them.

Ah but are they different from Manila and Tommy mangoes? Those are the only 2 styles I find. I think the Asian grocers will have the “indian” mangos that Indians love to eat. we have a lot of Indian expats in the Sf area and they love mangos that I don’t know. I think they eat them with skin.

gaobest, i think you should aim for 3 days max for eating leftovers...maybe finish up eating the Chinese food before making something else. The nutritional value declines when food is kept for a long time but you can also run into safety issues. Best to eat when fresh when possible . Use up whatever your fridge.is full of first.
Dominique Ansel??

jon and vinnie’s isn’t cheap but I loved them so much. We went there more because of the food and less because we wanted the Langers experience.
Currently my fridge is just full of food but mostly drinks. Everybody likes their beverages to be very very cold - not just fridge cold but cold with added ice. It’s really amusing. I just enjoy filtered ice water. Our fridge cap is only 24 cu ft so it’s a compact and limited space. If we leave sf, we could have a bigger space.

dominique Ansel - they’re in the geller or whatever that complex is with Cheesecake Factory and Apple store. Our rental was across the street so every morning I walked to Dom Ansel to get different pastries incl cronut.

that part of the LA trip was a perfect balance for Disneyland even though we also ate at the Anaheim Packing District for so much delicious joy. And of course yummy food at Disneyland, which I loved so much!

They are the only mangos I like which are the rather large redish/greenish/ orangish outside with bright orangeish flesh and a giant seed. I have also seen the little atufula (or whatever) that are all yellow.
I don't know how many beverages a day you all are drinking but can't you just replace them when you take one out and you now have every ice cube on the planet plus crushed ice etc. 24 cubic foot isn't small. Eat and drink some of the food rather than just storing for days...it isn't a restaurant.
And of course---Disneyland is always the best part! I always just have a Monte Cristo sandwich there. Or a giant corn dog if I don't want to sit down and eat. Best corndogs.

tommy Atkins mangos are the red green that you describe
Manila are the yellows

those are the ones I eat, as much as possible and minimum one per day. Pure joy.
people like to have their beverages in the fridge and then with ice.
we are borrowing our friends’ mini fridge and it has a plethora of liquor and stuff. Lol.

I prefer mangas to mangos, as I was told in Costa Rica over 30 years ago. :)

We'll see. We're having a session on meeting new dogs at next week's puppy training. :D

Corn cherry scone and roll-ppamg with peanut butter. I’m not going to start making peanut butter but I’m ecstatic about the baking.

iced Darth Vader (with water) and coffee with oat milk. Conveniently cracked just like Anakin’s scar in season 4 of The Clone Wars cartoon series.

Nothing as good as a sourdough baguette. mmm. I love pepperoncini but are the chips flavored potato chips? I just buy the jar of sliced ones...am I missing out on something good?
You say that your fridge is full of beverages so you can have them ice cold but you seem to stick to ice water...don't you have an ice water dispenser in the door along with the cubes and crushed ice? Do you keep water in the fridge too?

I drink iced water - the beverages in the fridge are mostly for others just like I’m the only one drinking oat milk for coffee. The beverages take space. There are 4 units of different cow milks, 2 units of oat milk, and then cans of carbonated drinks and bottles of waters, kombucha, and others. I just inserted a big jug for ice tea and I’m trying to figure out how to add another iced tea jug so that there are more iced tea choices :-)

the pepperocini chips are indeed Kettle brand chips - Safeway / Albertsons and every other major grocer. I love that brand and prefer to buy different flavors when they’re on sale. I can’t resist the bargains.

that said, I’m going to run out of chocolate Haagen daaz in late June or early July so time to start buying more... hope they’re on sale soon.
