Our First Ethiopian Meal!

We spent Memorial Day weekend with some friends in Dallas. While we were there, we decided that it would be a great opportunity to sample some authentic Ethiopian cuisine.

Pretty much everything was served with injera, a spongy, crepe-like bread that is a staple of most Ethiopian meals.

We tried several appetizers including kitfo, which is ground tenderloin beef tartar with exotic spices and butter rolled in injera.

We also tried several different entree combination plates. This is the vegetarian plate and includes missir wott (pureed lentils), shiro (pureed yellow peas), yataklet alitcha (cabbage, potatoes & carrots), and gomen (sauteed spinach and onions) all on a large piece of injera.

We finished the meal with a cup of Ethiopian coffee. What a great weekend and great meal with friends!

  2. Love the watch! ...and the blog! :) So am I right in thinking that you will eventually go get your baby in Ethiopia? Also, any idea on the sex? Does baby mean under 1 year old? or is it possible that your baby isn't even born yet? Will they come with a name or will you name him/her? Any ideas there? Potentially this should have been a separate email...
