Tripe soup

Recently there was one of mine Finnish friends from Erasmus in Prague and we went to my favourite pub called Lokál. Because they all were vegetarians, they did not enjoy much the Czech cuisine, but they were bit surprised I have eaten a tripe soup there.

Tripe is cut animal stomach, mostly in Czech republic it is from cows. It has to be washed and boiled for several hours before it is edible. It looks like shit, smells terribly (when boiling) but tastes really good. The Czech tripe soup is bit like a goulash with marjoram.

I was looking at wikipedia and it seems, that we are not the only ones who are eating this. Tripe is eaten in quite a lot of countries. The Italian version looked quite interesting and I guess I will try to prepare it some day.

Two medicaments which really work (for me)

Well apart from medicine for headaches I am not in need of any medications, but there are certainly two cases, where I found what really is the best (for me).

First condition is so called Aphthous ulcer, which is very painful, but totally harmless and usually (in my case) develops from mild injury in my mouth (like biting myself etc.). So it bothers me like twice a year. Well I have used lots of things, but this one works in seconds! It is called Oralmedic. The price is bit high, but with the frequency of the ulcers (in my case), it is totally worth it. The application is quite painful, after the treatment it looks still the same until it heals in couple of days, but! In seconds after application there really is no pain at all. (Well the application itself is bit painful, but worth it!). The whole process took five seconds, then I washed my mouth with plain water and spit it out and that was it!

The second condition is called diarrhea. And have to say usually I suffer from it by travelling to places which are southeastern from Czech Republic (like former Yugoslavia and such). The treatment I used is Imodium, again bit expensive, but again totally worth it. There are only 8 tablets in the package but in case of acute diarrhea I never used more than two.

Kindle order placed...

Having at home hundreds of books and almost no space where to put the newly bought... today I placed an order for Amazon Kindle... hope it was good idea, definitely one thing I could not do with kindle - reading in bathtub, which I was doing quite often... But still I hope it will read at least all the free PDFs I have (written by the surely dead authors).
