Random notes for today:
My co-workers John and Kristen told me about two Eritrean/Ethiopian restaurants in New Haven, CT: Caffé Adulis and Lalibela. Ever been? I keep hearing how amazing New Haven pizza is—- now I have to get up there to try their African food too.
Kristen also made Ethiopian at home recently and sent me links to the recipes.
Flatbread
Kitfo
Chicken Stew
Spiced Butter
Spice Mix
She said the kitfo was especially good, and actually, these don’t look as hard to make as I would have thought, provided you have the ingredients. Berbere may be tough to find in a store, but you can always make your own modified batch of it.
Okay, on an unrelated note, did anyone watch the profile on Michael Phelps last night when he said he ate between 8,000-10,000 calories a day?! I’m putting away a decent number of calories right now for triathlon training, but crap, 8K-10K is outta hand. Forget swimming, Phelps eating should be its own Olympic event. They could pit him against the marathoners, cyclists and triathletes, set up a time lapse camera, and see who could put down the most pasta, eggs and steak in a single day. People would watch that. Or at least bizarre people like me would.
