something totally DIFFERENT and totally yummy--Ethiopian food?!? MEGA YES!:

Pics taken from the web--things I tried/ate, I had everything on the pic except the meat stuff in the middle, we had different meat dishes below. WOW! Who knew I'd LOVE split pea anything, it was the absolute bomb as was the beets/potato/carrots, collard greens... EVERYTHING
was delicious, the injera spongy bread---soooooooo GOOD! Plus we had these:





It's an Ethiopian tomato salad--YUM!
AND some of this was on the large platter covered in injera bread--all of the food is on top of the injera bread and you use the injera bread to eat all the stuff with, WITH YOUR HANDS, everybody just digs in--- OR if you're like someone who will remain unnamed--and prefers to do it the un-traditional way, you can ask for a plate and fork and they'll happily give you one too :


It's a slowly stewed chicken with hard boiled eggs in it, called "Doro Wat"--doesn't look that great, but tastes DELICIOUS!


Lamb Shekla Tibs

Uhhhhhh...THE YUM, period.

Lastly, once more, I can not emphasize how GOOD this sponge bread called injera is--WOW, it's like a napkin you can eat--sooooo GOOD and you eat it with everything. Yuuuummmmmmmmmmm!





Finished off with Ethiopian coffee...I've ALWAYS, all my life HATED black coffee with a passion, but this was the BEST black coffee ever! At first it tastes smooth, then a spicy mega robust strong flavor creeps in, not bitter at all, taste like a strange dark chocolate of sorts--thebombdotcom, period. WOW, who knew i'd EVER like black coffee--EVER! Eye-openingly YUM.

OH MAN I want Ethiopian food now!! I've just had it twice in different cities, but both times it was super amazing!

Ethiopian is great, isn't it? It's my default "I'm tired and I'm ordering in" choice, which I was abusing earlier this year, so now I'm only having it if we actually go to a restaurant (there's one theater I go to near a good Ethiopian restaurant, so we usually combine the two and have dinner before).

Come-on! Who KNEW how fabulous this stuff is? Who knew I'd EVER love "smashed to the max yellow split pea anything. Everything was so good, especially that sponge bread. I'm DEFINITELY going to have this Ethiopian food more often--so yummy it was!
