Ethiopian Experience

Before I get to my story I have to say thanks to my dad for sending me Columbian coffee beans straight from the homeland. And thanks Raul and Samantha... I will be enjoying a cup tomorrow morning! (If only he would have remembered my Bello Montana Espresso Blend from home, I think he just wants to keep it for himself it is so good.)

A few nights ago I went to dinner with my friend Kate. We always have great conversations while dining at interesting places. We went to an Ethiopian restaurant (I didn't even know they existed.) It was great food! The meats and vegetables are served on an edible "tablecloth" called injera which is sourdough pancake-like bread. It tastes kind of bitter but it is by no means bad I rather enjoyed it. Have you ever been to a Japanese steak house where they bring out rolled up wash clothes before your meal? Well, at this particular restaurant they bring out rolled up injera (it looks almost exactly the same as the wash clothes) and they don't give you any plates. You just grab an injera "roll" pull off a piece and with it, grab the food. Then when you run out of those just start ripping up the "tablecloth." If you have not been to an Ethiopian restaurant and enjoy foreign foods I highly recommend finding one in your area.

So what does this have to do with coffee? Well I told you Kate and I have great conversations together but it is a little hard to do that while we are stuffing our faces with food. But after our meal we both ordered house coffee and sat for the next two hours catching up on life and enjoying what ended up being 5 cups between the two of us. See coffee lovers-not only are you going to get a good meal but afterward can enjoy a wonderful cup of authentic Ethiopian coffee, or in my case 3...
