New traditions...

...are sometimes way cool. Our group of friends who already enjoy a yearly January cabin trip , have started doing a once a month ethinic resataurant experience. Our first experience took us to some Ethiopian food. We were introduced to the usual meats and veggies, but with very good and unusual spices. It had great flavors. What made it most unusual was having it all served on a very large plate. The idea was to tear off pieces of the injera (spongey bread) and pick up your choice of whatever on the plate. That did seem a bit awkward, but if that was the tradition, we were willing to give it a try. We even got to talk with "the Queen" who owns the place. Good friends. New experience. Totally great evening. And yes, I learned to eat and enjoy Ethiopian food. Now I can't wait for next month's pick. I already think I know what that will be :-)
