Mmmh, I like Shaksuka! Especially with rice or potatoes to go with it. yum-yum.

As for your finger: It sounds like there's some sort of inflamation going on underneath the skin. Perhaps the joints are inflamed. You could try Traumeel ointment and see if it makes it better. (http://www.traumeel.com/) It's a natural formula, so no weird side-effects or drugs in there.
