Assigned Reading
My favorite assigned reading for this class was “A Guide to Venezuelan Arepas”. Everything about the piece was very colorful– from the writing to the actual display itself. The post was very interactive and engaging which made for an easy read. I also really enjoyed the cultural aspect of this post. It showcased the very strong connection that this dish has with Venezuelan culture.

Independent Reading
My favorite independently chosen reading for this class was “Lost Crops of Africa: Volume III: Fruits”. Discovering this piece caused me to completely redesign the purpose of my annotated bibliography. The dedicated chapter to tamarind in this book covers a lot of good background information on the fruit. This reading showed me that tamarind is much more than just a fruit in some cultures– it also has spiritual, economic and medical significants.
Hello
I love your reading about tamarind too. In fact, I strongly advise reading this.
I have been sick for many years with fatty liver where my eyes where always yellow and my blood was not giving good results.
After investigating a lot, I found out that Tamarind had a nice effect on my liver as a medicinal plant.
I tried Tamarind and it cured my fatty liver. Now I am a strong believer in natural alternative medicines.
So much that I have even put together an article about this and I am now employed as a site editor for a number of sites.
I am free of fat in my liver since I started to eat it and I will never go back to the medicine I used to take. Even my doctor is now advising others to try Tamarind.
So your favorite reading is also my favorite one.
Take care.
