Inca Kola and Lomo Saltado

This is just a random post to keep you entertained while I'm on vacation. I'm going to be in Egypt all week so I wrote a few blog posts and scheduled them to upload during the week. This is something I've wanted to post for a few weeks, but I kept getting distracted by my blog series. So, I thought now was a good time to share the pictures and story.

A couple weeks ago, Bill surprised me with a very awesome gift. He bought me Inca Kola. For those of you who don't know, Inca Kola is a Peruvian soft drink that I've been drinking for as long as I can remember. Its a very sweet cola and I think its delicious...mostly because of all the memories it brings back when I drink it (and even just smell it). Bill went down to a big market by the train station to find this nostalgic treat. He didn't even know where he was going and had to ask a friend of mine for directions. He bought 6 glass bottles of Inca Kola and surprised me with them (isn't he a great husband?). They were so good! I decided that a Peruvian drink deserved a Peruvian meal so I made Lomo Saltado, also my favorite. It is a stir-fry of meat, onions, tomatoes, and french fries served over rice. I've made it before and its always been kind of dry, but this time it was great. And, I had the perfect drink to wash it all down!

Thanks, Bill!
