An omelet a day...

One of my friends has pointed out that bread with sardines and marmite doesn’t sound very appetizing and she is right, I only use them in real emergencies. However, as the month of fasting continues, food during the day is becoming fairly scarce, even in the bigger towns and cities. I have had to learn what to look for to find something to eat. Usually there is one thing that is available all day and in most towns that are big enough to have a bus-stop, to supply the needs of travelers: an omelet shop! It usually looks like a table with cans of milk and coffee on it, but if you go and ask, they usually have some bread and eggs hidden under the table. And so, omelet has become a staple food in my life – sometimes twice a day. Eggs deep-fried in oil has got to be the safest food around – and it’s pretty tasty too – well, better than sardines and marmite, anyways.
