eggs for the rolex, originally uploaded by suddenly.

in uganda, a rolex is fried eggs wrapped in the indian flatbread called chapati. I don’t know how it got it’s name rolex. all i know is that it’s delicious, like a greasy breakfast burrito.

you can see rolex vendors on the street. this lady got her eggs fresh from the hens in a nearby ditch, cracked them on a cast iron griddle, and rolled them up in a chapati.

grilled cow tongue

grilled cow tongue, originally uploaded by suddenly.

we found this street vendor tucked into a little alleyway in entebbe (uganda) serving up grilled cow tongue. he sprinkles it with salt, cuts it up into bite-size pieces, then presents the meaty morsels in a newspaper cone.

the meat was pleasantly chewy and extremely flavorful. and super cheap!

267 points for "luckiest"

267 points for "luckiest"

i’ve been on a roll lately with lexulous, playing 2-minute games with 0-second increments. the rounds are high speed and filled with intense pressure thus giving me my daily adrenalin rush. i recently beat my previous record for most points with one word (230 for THERAPIES) when my opponent played HOOD and left open the triple word spot. i had LUCKIEST in my rack, so with the K on the double letter, and the 8 tiles spanning two triple-word-scores, i got a grand total of 267 points.

the sheer luck of having those tiles in my rack was not lost on me.
