About five years ago I bought a Wok. Why? because the Japanese version the Iron Chef became the hottest show on the Food Network. For those of you who do not know, I cook a mean everything.
Bobby Flay’s southwestern style mixed with anything works for me. Just wait till you taste my cheese steak with Ethiopian flare; I put berbere in it and take out the cheese. Don’t worry I don’t eat it with Injera.
I do love that General Tso, but my attempt at making it has been a major disaster. Recipe after recipe, it just doesn’t seem to work for me.
I think westerners attempt at writing eastern recipes should just be outlawed. Just look at this recipe for Ethiopia Beef & Peppers. I guess that is suppose to be Tibs, but I have never seen my grandma ever put red wine in it. Yes, I occasionally put all types of alcohol on top of the sautéed onions in order to get the flavoring from the bottom of the Dist. But com’on Tumeric & Bell peppers in Tibs! That is not Ethiopian. Get some Tej & Berbere or a clue! Continue reading ‘Wok Wot!’

If you thought that Melkamu Tebeje's Awassa Langano was the hottest tune that ever graced the air-waves back in the early pre-revolution seventies, there was and still is very little or no hope for you.You didn't know it then, but your taste of zefen represented the first tell-tale sign that you were and will remain a Fara until the day you draw your last breath. You can try to fake it all you like, but deep in the nebulous recesses of your mind, there will always be the nagging truth that you area Fara; . . . perhaps a superficially polished one now, but a Fara nonetheless, thanks to the Melkamu-Syndrome.”
That was extracted from an article I read about four years ago on Seleda. That was the first time I ever heard of Melkamu Tebeje.(I stared a wikepidia article, please help by expanding on it) The author wrote a wonderful and interesting article. I got curious thus I had a family member send me a copy of the song. I must be Fara because I thought it was a great catchy song. Continue reading ‘Cheb Cheb’

Over the past year my interest in the running sport has matured, although my knowledge about Ethiopian runners is antiquated. I had an interesting conversation with a young Ethiopian that knows so much about the sport. I was so impressed with how much info he had. Ya, we all know Haile is great, but do you know who Deriba Merga & Dure Tune are?
Yes, I could sign up for Google to email me the news, but what I’m interested in is the discussions. Who’s on the come up and who’s on the come down? What are the chances that an Ethiopian will win this weekend? Who is injured and who is not?
Those are the type of discussions I would like to part of. Thus, in the name of knowledge and support for Ethiopian runners; I have as of 10 minutes ago started an email discussion group. Continue reading ‘Run Ethiopia Run!’
