Friday I’m In Love #34: “Pretty Gyal” by Coterie – The Indifferent Scales

New on the blog: Commonly available supermarket mango varieties are inexpensive and readily accessible. I tried all four available at the two big grocery stores you're thinking of, and found out... they're all pretty good! theindifferentscales.wordpress.com/2025/12/23/e...
