Tamarind Brandy Sour

Leslie and I?  We're talking TAMARINDOS today.  Tamarinds (or tamarindo en español) are legumes that  grow on trees that can get to be as tall as 80 feet high.  Each tamarind pod contains a soft pulp that surrounds hard seeds.  The pulp is edible and acidic and ranges from sour to sweet.  It grows in warm, tropical climates and is used to make refreshing beverages, candies and ices, and even used as a savory ingredient in pickled dishes, meat or fish dishes, or condiments like Worcestershire sauce.

Possibilities.  Life is full of full of them.

I recently watched the film Last Holiday for Food 'n Flix (chosen by our host this month, Leslie).  I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it before.  And actually I couldn't even recall seeing any trailers or previews or commercials for it.  It may sound like a "holiday" film - but holiday is used in the broadest sense.  Or maybe the British sense.  As in "going on holiday".  That would be vacation for us Americans.  Which leads me to believe that nobody who works in my public library system has actually seen this film that they have on their shelves.  Because I found it in with the Christmas movies.  It is NOT a Christmas movie.  Okay.  Anyway.
