Even the kids ate it!

I experimented with more Ethiopian food this weekend. First I made new berbere, without the cayenne pepper so the boys could handle it. Then I made more wot with it, but this time with pork. I also made nitar kebha, which is clarified margarine (usually butter) simmered with many spices, garlic, etc, and then strained so only the tasty margarine remains. This apparently is supposed to keep in the fridge for months. Anyway, it is a common ingredient in many vegetable dishes that I've run across. This time I made atar allecha, basically a green pea puree. It was so good! The pork wot was also very good (I had the little shaker of spicy berbere on the side for the adventurous ones). We had left over injera from last time (which I had frozen and defrosted). It was okay, but I'm not sure the way I froze it was wise (I had rolled then frozen them; probably should have kept them flat). The best part of dinner though was that Camille, Ale and the boys came over for dinner (and brought over a really yummy chocolate cake)! Here's a shot-out to them with hopes their adoption progresses smoothly :-)
