This past weekend we went out to dinner with Ben's mentor teacher (Leah) and her boyfriend (Tyson) and Leah's student teacher (Bryan, sitting next to Ben) at the Blue Nile Ethiopian Cuisine. It was an absolute blast learning how to eat this VERY authentic food. One of the benefits of living near a very international city we get to taste many different foods.
The bluish "bread" under Ben's arm is called "injera" and is the only "utensil" you are given. Injera is like a spongy crepe (I was wearing my Adidas tennis shoes and quickly noticed injera looked like the mesh on my shoes). We ordered quite a bit of food, and looking at it you may be wondering what in the world is on that plate? We have some beef, lentils, collard greens, salad, a boiled brown egg, split pea, and a chicken leg.
We finished off both of those trays! We have decided to go out to eat more often and try new international cuisines. Next stop Greek!
YUM!! I like Greek food... (not gyros, though. . . i have a bad experience with them at the Iowa State Fair---just ask Benn...) Love lizz
