Ethiopia

Last week the gang met up again for one of our international lunches.  With summer here and all of our schedules conflicting we have been having a hard time finding time for us all to get together for lunch (except for the few occasional rendezvous to Yogurtland which is now located only about a mile away from our office) but with two of our solid gang members leaving for extended leaves of absences we made sure that we got one more outing in.  

Our dear friend Jaire was accepted into a pre-med school program at UCLA and will be leaving us for 6 weeks to prepare for med school that he will hopefully be starting in the fall.  We are all super excited for him to start this journey but we are also selfishly sad that he is going to be leaving us.  Emily on the other had is off to do some good in the world with a service trip to Ethiopia for a few weeks. So we thought what better way to send these two off then to try some Ethiopian food. 

Ethiopian food is unlike anything I have ever eaten.  They serve it all on a platter like the one above in the picture.  Then you take the napkin looking things next to the platter (referring to the picture) and you use that scoop the food up.  

This was probably one of the most interesting food I have tried so far.  But I have to admit... it was pretty good. 

Emily and Jaire we will miss you and we can't wait for you guys to get back and tell us all about your magical adventures!
