The Fly in the Ointment...

Remember kushari?  The Egyptian dish with lentils, rice, macaroni, chickpeas, tomatoes and fried onions?  Well, it turns out that my particular bowl of kushari contained a very nasty microbe.  One that made me so violently ill, the force of ejecting the kushari from my body, via my mouth, bruised my eyelids and broke blood vessels on my eyeballs and under my eyes.

Who knew such an innocent dish:
