I spent this morning trying to cook some Ethiopian dishes. At least that's one thing we can give the girls that's familiar. Not sure how it all turned out, since I'm missing some of the key spices. But at least I got my practice.
I also just finished making my third batch of Injera, a spongy, fermented, flat bread that is the most common food in Ethiopia. The first one was thick and tasted like pancakes. The second was so fermented and tasted bad. The third was was nice but didn't taste anything like Injera. Back to the drawing board.
And now I am writing out the menu for the first week, so I can have the spices bought and things ready ahead of time. I sit here wondering, "Have they ever actually eaten this?". I put pizza on the menu. It seems to be universal. One can always find a bad pizza somewhere.
