Work, and waiting on the windshield tech to come out and replace the one in MrsT’s car. I think that’s about it.

I need to clean and process a bucket of tamarind...
Bit of a sticky job

Hahaha! I've done that (once!) and you're absolutely right. Sticky job!
Plans for today involve an early (7am) TOEFL class, followed by organising the gardener followed by watching some football on the 1st day of the Premier League.
I’m off work for the next five days, yipee!
Today will be the usual Saturday stuff - going to a couple of grocery stores. We’ll have leftover soup from last night, so cooking’s already sorted out. Not much, really.

A few errands, time with parents, coffee chill break in the shade, on a wooden bench...siesta at home...
Laundry...reading...
It was a sweltering hot night, I woke up at 4 am, felt thirsty from the non stop sweating, drank 2dl of electrolyte on ice, listened to a podcast, and my mood is so good now!
It must be one of the electrolytes

Tamarind
Peeled etc and boiled.
Now waiting for the lot to cool down so I can remove pips. By hand.
Then a quick boil again and pack in old vinegar bottles to last till next harvest
I still have a bottle from last year, so maybe I keep it at this.
Tamarind chicken on the menu tonight

Does it grow uncultivated and you just harvest/forage it? Or do you plant and upkeep it specifically?
I've seen it bottled, hence wow for the fruit itself.

I got a mature tamarind on my plot.
It was there when I bought it.
I've also planted some from seed but they are not producing yet.
It's a beautiful tree

I'm at a music festival called Porch Rockr where people play at residential houses and businesses in the arts district. My new son-in-law's heavy metal band is playing. Not pictured is the crowd.

Well that was fun. I came home, changed clothes, and now I'm wiped out. We walked a few miles and my feet hurt, lol. I'm a bit out of shape.
You need a drink.
