You're from Texas, right? Tamarind is huge in Mexico. Do you guys eat a lot of Mexican candy/food?

And I attract more hot chicks than I can handle. Seriously.

it does look really yummy, sans fish sauce. i wonder if you could replace it with soy sauce or maybe, since it's just a tablespoon, go to a japanese market and use the juice from some fresh seaweed?

Replace with Namu Shoyu, a dash of vinegar, and a tiny bit of cumin.
