This is going to be a series of post with stuff I really like. Basically I will post the stuff maybe a picture or a video or a link and a little description.
Hey I like a lot of different stuff; let me know what you like?
- Ergonomics office chair – since I spend a lot of time on the computer and I am so restless, I like to have the perfect chair, I am consistently unhappy with the design and flexibility of most office chairs. I just ordered the below a few minutes ago.
- Basil- I love the taste smell freshness of basil, its one of those things that makes food m mmmm so gooood you want to bite your fingers. You can’t make any type of decent pasta with no basil, not dried old basil, fresh basil – it only lasts about a week in the fridge so you have to make something good everyday. And don’t cook it but use it as a sort of garish, put it on after you are done cooking.
- Hot Coffee- There is nothing more important than the first coffee in the morning. I live like a zombie, who hasn’t gotten enough sleep in weeks. I have hard time waking up and the coffee is the only thing that gives me the energy to go from the morning to early afternoon. I love the smell, taste and the feeling coffee gives me.
like this idea Ethiopian version of Oprah’s fav. list ,the chair looks so comfortable ,my husband is a PHD student with minor backache would love to know the name of the maker ,please post .Thanks Nolawi.
here is link one and two to choose from. the above is for my body style…

You guys are victims of neo-colonialism….see your doctor…
Dear victims of neo-colonialism. Read this:
Lentils, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Not only do lentils help lower cholesterol, they are of special benefit in managing blood-sugar disorders since their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal. But this is far from all lentils have to offer. Lentils also provide good to excellent amounts of six important minerals, two B-vitamins, and protein-all with virtually no fat. The calorie cost of all this nutrition? Just 230 calories for a whole cup of cooked lentils. This tiny nutritional giant fills you up–not out.

Basil is some of that goodness. Indeed. Basil pesto too (made with pecans instead of pine nuts).

wikipedia – I can’t believe it has made this list yet.
Nolawi this may change your mind about misir wot the expression goes like this “misir qula qisore” sorry for the profanity .
Dinich, good one, I will still stay away from misir though because it upsets my stomach
thanks Dinich, although i must say my love for misir is unconditional, i would still love it if it didn’t have an iota of nutrition
omg- you so made me dedicate a WHOLE blog to you…
Mitti, Same here…I luv misir with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my strength…beqa.

I love rainy nights in Addis, all the sound on the roof etc. One thing I miss.

Except not much rain where I live.

LOL…I didn’t even think of it! I meant potato…But i guess, I have officially declared my love for Dinich here on Bernos. No prob. I have enough love to give…
Nolawi, can u tell me what criteria u used to choose ur chair? I stay in my chair for long period of times, and it is the least comfortable chair ever..and I am feeling it…that is the only criteria I have…
i buy it by how comfortable it looks and if it had a lot of adjusters…
I love candles, shells, pebbles, mugs, tikus shiro wot on a rainy day, classical music, lamp shades, nice pens that make my handwriting look real good, cartoon films, wet towels, the moon, comfy underwears, soaps(yegela samuna), sweets, Ketchup, and I love rice.
Forgot to add nice sexy jeans.
Morning hot coffee is my ultimate desire in every day life.For some reason I am addicted to 7eleven coffee.Anyway..anybody know the name of an Ethiopin coffee that smell even before you open the package. I mean kinda a knock out smell. As I heard they mix the grounded coffee with some bacteria or something. I don’t know how much its true. But really I was searching for it long time.anyone?
