Apparently this beer is of the opinion that fat women shouldnt drink alcohol. How rude!

This sweater has me out here looking like uncle fester. No regrets, its the first time it has rained in egypt and the first night my t-shirt wasnt cutting it. Feels nice.

In the month ive been in egypt ive already went down one t-shirt size.

I made 3 new kitty friends. The two pictured i got to feed. There was a third i met on my way out that i cant stop thinking about. He was really beat up, chunks of his ear missing, pat hy fur, but he was so sweet. Second he saw he me he started in on thr head rubs. I was late to my cab so couldnt stop off to get him food like i usually do....

Anyway now that i left him i cant stop thinking about him and how sweet he was and how hungry he probably is. Im thinking ill find some meat and go back tomorrow and see if i find him. If i do maybe i can bribe a local shop owner to feed him every day after i leave. I wish i could take him home with me but i know thats not an option :( Ill be thinking about him all night.

Looks like i might be flying into Israel to do some consulting for a biotech company there after my stay on Egypt is over. They are trying to get me a b1 visa (a type of work visa for qualifying experts in a field). It will be fun to see how they conduct business over in Israel and tackle some hard problems again but honestly i cant wait to check out the super old architecture and religious sites.

How to convert any meal to egyptian:

1) instead of bread and butter replace with pitas and tahini
2) Replace all types of beans and chickpeas with fava beans
3) Use eggplant like a californian would use avocado, add it to everything
4) replace butter with oil
5) whenever you dont know what to do with a fruit or vegetable, pickle it.
6) meat
7) meat

I Tried several egyptian foods i havent had the chance to try yet. It was delicious but i have so many left overs.

The white dish is Rice Muammar, the brown looking rice is "Oriental Rice" which isnt very oriental by american standards, its rice with nuts and seasoning, the sausages are called Mombar and is lamb casing stuffed with meat and rice and spices, and finally the meat stuffed inside the pita is called Hawawshi and the bread is a bit crispy and amazing.

I have to admit, basking in the glow of an unshielded open nuclear reactor for a few hours can be a surprisingly relaxing past time.
