After a great evening Thursday and lot of learning on Friday I was ready for more food! Some fellow bloggers and I were lucky enough to go to a little happy hour gathering at Swift's Attic, hosted by the National Mango Board. We had a delicious little menu of mango drinks and appetizers. I loved seeing new food combinations that I had never thought of and of course, great company and a beautiful locale never hurt either. Thanks for having me, Mango Board!
