Tomorrow I am having a big dinner with 7 surprise guests. Earlier this year I donated an Ethiopian dinner to a silent auction o raise money for local charities, including the hospice. This lady bought the dinner and we’re now hosting it. The trick is hat we don’t know any of the people coming! ha ha
Luckily my sister is in town and she’s just as good (if not better) of a Ethiopian food cook than I am – so we spent the morning organizing and now off to the farmer’s market we go! For all of you who have cooked Etiopian, you can appreciate it – we need a LOT of onions!
Our dishes planned:
- Chicken Wat
- Bef Wat
- Gingered Vegetables
- Red Lentils
- Chickpea Wat
- Collard Green
- Iab (buttermilk cheese)
- Tej – honeyed wine
Yum! The nice thing with new company is that there is always plenty to talk about. Have fun!
I would donate money to be invited over for that meal
Nicky, that’s so cool of you to do!!! Good luck with the cooking, I got no tips for you, as I haven’t tried to conquer the Ethio cooking yet. Sigh, I really should dust off the new cookbook.
It sounds so yummy!
Have fun, take pictures of your finished product if you get the chance!
How did the dinner go? What a fantastic thing to do. I am too chicken to try cooking Ethiopian… Maybe I should come visit you and you can give me some cooking lessons…
You can tell you were in a hurry because of all the speling erors.
