Congrats on the offer, Kat.

Am mostly dead. Upstairs, eldest nephew is still roaring about. I need to make him do more laps. Youngest nephew started being a fussbudget late afternoon, after being a complete angel for me all weekend. Not my fault! But you can still coax a dimpled grin out of him between squawks.

Now I'm going to bed.

The best raw beef dish I've ever had is an ethiopian appetizer called "kitfo." If you order it "tere" it comes out raw but if you'd prefer you can get it "lub-lub" or lightly cooked. It's flavored with hot peppers and I dunno what else but damn now I want some.

You have to order in Ewok?

Congrats on the job offer, Kat! I hope the insurance stuff can get worked out. And, just because... {{{Kat}}}

You have to order in Ewok?

Only if you want it lightly cooked. The rest of the menu is in Klingon. Zil Zil Tibs, Doro Wat, Injera and the like.

I love that stuff. So very tasty. But, I really really love Ethiopian food in general and Chicago has a few good restaurants.

My cat would never ever do that.

There used to be one good Ethiopian restaurant in Chicago but it moved to Evanston.

Ras Dashen is v. good. In Uptown. There's also Ethiopian Diamond right down the street and it's good, too, but I like Ras Dashen better.
