Mikey Likes it

Yes - we know that Mikey will eat anything... But we really did enjoy our Ethiopian food the other night!!! It is near a Red Lobster and on the way there i kept thinking that - maybe it will be closed and we will have to go to the Red Lobster instead. But lo and behold they were not closed. The restaurant itself is a bit sketchy - apparently you don't go for the atmosphere. The food however was excellent!!! now - i was nervous about it all day and not exactly looking forward to it. When my boss made his version - it as a thick mushy stew (not much flavour) and injera was a thick, pancake like thing - and it was gritty. that was the part i could hardly choke down. We really didn't know exactly what we were ordering - but we each got our own injera (which was more like a crepe than a thick pancake). I ordered 'special tibsy' and it was so good!!! It was a bit spicy but more flavorful than hot. I really enjoyed it!!!! We all tried some of each others but i think i had the best - i forget what mike had - but my mom had the doro wat - and it was good too.
So, i need to relax now - its not at all what i thought. i have been told that Ethiopian food is some of the best African food you can eat! I have limited experience but i would say they might be right. If you in my neck of the woods, I would be pleased to go for Ethiopian with you!!!!
