Second Tuesday

Last night we met with friends for our monthly, second-Tuesday dinner. We had Ethiopian food, with different dishes made by each family. Everyone did so well with the strange recipes! JR made delicious, spongy injera and A made doro wat, complete with fenugreek. D made a "fat" salad, foraged from the streets of Milwaukee and I made the steaming (ye)mesir wat. Delicious!



We were also given several gifts from our friends. There was the cutest hat: a beet hat! There is even a burgundy vein running through the little green leaves that sprout out at the top. Ooo, I love beets. Too cute! And then there were several books, even block books! Thank you, friends.
