I got to have today off, which means that I got to have an actual, two day weekend for a change. I think I might have been a little over-ambitious. Since Friday, I have made eclairs, gone to dinner at the pub, spent hours at the Jean Talon Market, cooked a fairly important meal (not trying to be cryptic, but just saving it for later!), and then just since this morning, I have attempted a new recipe for cinnamon buns (!!! we might have a winner!), made Berbere spice, Ayib - a fresh cheese used as a condiment with chives for those coming for dinner who aren't me, Shiro for a Shiro Wat, Nit'r Kibbeh (an Ethiopian spiced butter that is so good I wish I had bread for toast), and have the goat stew simmering. Now, on to the other wats, a red lentil, a chickpea and a stewed greens. Never having eaten let alone cooked an Ethiopian meal (and will be giving Huge props to my friend Gwen, who provided most of the recipes and advice for this meal; wish she was here!), I'm going to leave off here so that I can 1) finish cooking it and 2) do it proper justice with photos and flavours!
Till tomorrow. Enjoy! =)
