I was thinking about Kathy last night before I fell asleep. I'm still just so so inspired and all GO TEAM and stuff.
I've never had Ethiopian food, though I'm told it's super yummy.
I'm super non-adventurous when it comes to food. I'm always afraid I'll end up with a bowl of chicken eyeballs in gravy.
Daisy Jane, that boy should have to have a license to have that much cute. 'Tis a deadly weapon.
I don't actually like Ethiopian food. I find the bread too sour. I will cheerfully eat my weight in naan, though.
Crap! Kathy, I've been cheering you in my head for a week but always forget to actually type out my admiration. Go you!
K, who was never really planning to have kids, always says "If I'd have known he was going to be this cute, I'd have had him waaaaay earlier."
I have to be a bit conservative with Ethiopian -- burning-hot spiciness = bad -- but I have definitely enjoyed the whole "your plate is also dinner" setting and the various flavors. Asmara is pretty good -- and a lot cheaper for lunch than they are for dinner!
The secret to the chicken-eyeballs issue is not to ask. You see something vaguely eyebally swimming in your soup, you just don't ask. You don't ask what's in a hot dog, do you??
N.B. This approach does not work for chicken feet. They just look exactly like what they are.
How do you eat chicken feet? Do you just chew them up? Aren't they mostly bone?
