Correction

I must apologize. Two posts ago I improperly quoted the side of the ambulance. It wasn't "property of" but rather "Courtesy" and I totally left out the word "Homage" which was just a big mistake on my part. Please enjoy the picture below to see the correct form the phrase.



This week I've been visiting partner organizations with some co-workers to do some paperwork and decision making with them. This invariably means that they serve us snacks twice in the morning and once in the afternoon because that is proper hospitality here. One afternoon this week they brought out half a dozen plates with nothing but deep fried foods. I was at a loss as to how they could manage to find the variety of deep fried foods that they did until I started eating them and realized that they pretty much just deep fried anything they could get their hands on. My favorites were the deep fried hard boiled egg and the deep fried onion (which I kid you not tasted exactly like a blooming onion). My least favorites were definitely the deep fried coriander leaves and the deep fried garlic which was every bit as strong tasting as you would imagine batter fried garlic would taste. Eat and smile....eat and smile. Sometimes you've just got to take one for the team.
