food poison

Well, now I feel I have enriched my life expereince by having food poison! I can't go into the painful details as I still can't talk about any deep food experience fondly. Let's just say that there is a certain type of food I will forget about for a looooooooooong time.

So, with a couple of days with an exhausted body lying in bed, the only good thing was I had time to read a bit in my bedside table novel. It's called Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree. It's great so far, my first time to read for Tariq Ali. It's set in the last years of Islam in Andalusia, depicting the drama of one Muslim family in Gharnata as they cope with the changing times. As I read I can't stop thinking how easily I can relate to the details of life of this family and their own perspective to the relationship between Muslims and Christians at that time. But I also can't help wondering what would be the attitude of a Christian reading this novel and how would s/he relate to it? It takes a lot of objectivism I guess. Will tell you more about it as I read along.
