or, I LOVE TEJ.
Our dossier (giant packet full of our background/financial/personal/adoption info) arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Valentine’s Day, which means that, as of yesterday, we have been on the waiting list for 6 months. To celebrate being that much closer to bringing our babies home, we had dinner last night at The Queen of Sheba, one of Dallas’ Ethiopian restaurants. (I’m learning how to use my DSLR camera, so the pictures aren’t the best. Don’t hate.)
This is tej–Ethiopian honey wine. Basically the best drink ever.
Sambusa, a crispy pastry filled with meat
Instead of using utensils, Ethiopians tear off pieces of injera and use it to pick up their food.
The food is usually served family style, on a large piece of injera. We had lamb, chicken, lentils prepared different ways, and veggies.
spicy and delicious!!
