Homemade

People in Bonaire make food in their house and sell it on a Facebook web page called "Bonaire 4 sale". 

Recently, I saw a listing for cream puffs.  Mr. Fung makes cream puffs on the weekends and sells them.  You place your order online, he texts when it's ready, you drive to his house, he comes out and gives you your order. These were $2 each. He lives in a big modern designed home 3 minutes from our house. He must do this for fun.

Lionfish are an invasive species in Bonaire.  They eat everything. There is open season on Lionfish all the time.  Spear fisherman can take as many as they want.  No limit on anyone hunting these fish.  So there is this guy that makes lionfish soup from his home.  He makes a small batch, freezes it and sells it for $5 from his house.  Again, you text on "WhatsApp" , place an order and go pick it up. 

Here is our addition to homemade.  These are golden mangos from our Mango trees.  They have been green since we got here in February and have now turned golden and ripened.  Mangos fall to the ground each day.  Rick retrieves them and we eat them with our breakfast yogurt.

The harvest is like all the oranges and lemons that ripen all at once in Arizona. In Bonaire, the mango trees produces way more than we can eat. Everyone tries to give them away before they spoil.   Many people put them outside their gates for free pick-up and anyone that visits leaves with a mango or ten.  These are also the favorites of the donkeys that roam the area as well as the parrots (known as Lora's in Bonaire).
