• oh this is going to be
• weirdly formatted apologies in advance. sighs heavily
• listen back in the day I used to sometimes do my LJ entries in nested tables, i handcoded all my bulleted lists.
• i have found out the hard way that Tumblr’s HTML editor is… not good, so I don’t click over to it because it’s nightmare fuel

               your road pop reminds me of one lovely summer when i
  

  was a kid, my parents and grandparents and i were on a back country road, no houses in sight, and we came across a big box in the road. it was full of ice cream novelties, and they were still cold. we looked around, couldn’t find anyone, and decided to take it home. we kept it on my grandparents’ deep freeze and it lasted us all summer!

What that is AMAZING???? That’s like… a ghost story only… ice cream. !!! - chamerionwrites https://chamerionwrites.tumblr.com/ said:

                             Oh man, I miss tamarind. I used to be able

to get it super easily (off the trees lol) and it makes the best sauces.

• oh i guess i’m in bullet points now, that’s just how this is.
• MY MIND IS BLOWN by different climates. I have lived within one or two similar climate zones my whole life and so I am the kind of dumb hick who is BOWLED OVER by citrus trees and such. Passionfruit vines! Plumeria… I don’t know if those are trees or what! My dumb hick ass is like HOW CAN THINGS BE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PLACES. So, to sum up, the entire concept that you can just… pick tamarind… instead of it being a badly-drawn thing on the side of a can that indicates that you’re probably not going to like whatever’s inside 😅 (listen i had a bad run-in with one of those Goya fruit drinks, the tamarind one is nasty)

• anyway I don’t know what tamarind actually tastes like, I assumed I didn’t like it. Despite being 41 years old I still have a very small brain and if it doesn’t overwinter in USDA Zone 6a then as far as I am concerned it grows in Fairyland, which means there are many cuisines of the world that are full of impenetrable wonders to me. fabledshadow https://fabledshadow.tumblr.com/ said:

                   My best friend, love her dearly, once took an
  

  adderall she found on the floor of her macroeconomics classroom.

Hm now I don’t have bullet points! THis is injustice. Anyway– bless her heart that’s amazing. Honestly I might do the same, I am desperate to know what being medicated is like, but not desperate enough apparently to go through the fifty-stage process of attempting yet again to get diagnosed. Adderall is harder to come by than an orange pop. - jacquez45 https://jacquez45.tumblr.com/post/630186860901220352 reblogged this from bomberqueen17 https://bomberqueen17.tumblr.com/ and added:

OMG Of course you can buy it??? Of course! I mean, knowing what it’s called is probably a good first step. https://jacquez45.tumblr.com/post/630186860901220352

OK, I need to make some tamarind balls and send them to you. (Tropical tamarind candy made mostly of tamarind and sugar. Staple of my Jamaican childhood.)

I like many Goya products but I don't care for their canned nectars. I shudder to think what they did to tamarind. Plus their owner supports Trump so fuck him anyway.
