with all of us going off to different places, this blog is an attempt to stay close. in athens, we were lucky to establish a fun tradition we called supper club- which is exactly like what it sounds- getting together, cooking different recipes, and eating a lot. so even though we are all spread out now, we can still come to this blog, share what is going on, share recipes- from baton rouge to egypt there should be some variety- and just continue on as friends in each other's lives.

egyptian cuisine.

so this is more of a confession than anything else. before coming to cairo i was super excited about the food, eating out, etc. not that that has changed, but "pharaoh's revenge" makes you take a step back in trying things and acclimating before you get too crazy. that being said, tonight my stomach was churning but i knew i had to eat something. so without further ado, i present to you, my dinner menu:

leftover pasta with chicken
4 mystery flavored chips (AUC put some food in our apartments when we got here but i cannot for the life of me figure out what flavor of lays these are.....it's like ketchup? but more savory? i mean, delicious, just mysterious)
corn flakes dipped in nutella.

yikes. i would be ashamed of this except i'm claiming no responsibility for making bad choices when you have a bad case of traveller's stomach.

i'm having iftar (the meal that breaks the fast during ramadaan) with the president of AUC and some other faculty 3 times this week so i'll try and take some pictures. it's a really cool ceremonial meal with awesome food.

love you lots and stuff. i'll try and be on skype/gchat/ichat for those interested whenever i'm at a computer. hopefully i'll catch you guys! otherwise, we can schedule video gchat or skype dates because that needs to happen, ASAP.

poplar 4 life.
