Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt the butter, sugar, and honey together in a saucepan set over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, mango and pecans. Mix until smooth. 2 Drop dessertspoonfuls of the mixture, quite widely spaced, onto baking sheets lined with nonstick baking paper. Spread into thinnish rounds using the back of a spoon, leaving space for them to spread. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, ensuring the biscuits do not burn. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then use a palette knife to carefully transfer the biscuits to a wire rack. Leave to cool completely. 3 Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. When the florentines are cool, dip each one into the melted chocolate to half cover. Leave to set on a tray lined with nonstick baking paper (you can get them to set quickly by putting the biscuits in the refrigerator for 30 minutes).

Food Joke

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar one day and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gunbelt, and said, "I do. Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you would like to know that your horse is just about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and, sure enough, Silver was about dead from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got him some water and made him drink it, and soon Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure Kemosabe", and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and announces, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again and claims, "I do. What is wrong with him this time?" The cowboy says to him, "Nothing much, I just wanted you to know... you left your Injun running!"
