Known as HALDI in HINDI, jiang huang in Chinese, manjal in Tamil (and just plain "yuk" as the yellow stain on a white T-shirt from the splatting of ballpark mustard), turmeric has a medicinal history that dates back 5,000 years. At that time it was a key medicament for wound healing, blood cleansing and stomach ailments in India's Ayurvedic system of medicine.

Last night was so hot. It was stuffy and there was no breeze so the house didn't cool down at all. This morning was still hot, so I didn't eat.

Tonight is a little better, but not much.
