Two weeks ago Elliot made Malaysian Sweet and Sour Eggs. This recipe was our first time using tamarind as an ingredient. We sipped the nectar before we added it to the recipe. Yuck--it tasted so gross! After trying the nectar, we were skeptical that we'd like this dish. But once all of the flavors are cooked together, it's wonderful. I'm starting to think of cooking as some kind of magic.

Chris and I found spicy tamarind candy at the Thai market. It was spicy and sugary and tamarindy and you had to spit out the giant seeds. Some of my favorite foods contain tamarind.
my friend julio used to eat this disgusting mexican tamarind candy. it squeezed out of a tube like toothpaste and then you dipped it into cayenne pepper.
when you get to P for Poland, you should make stuffed cabbage!
