My friend Mulu, who is from Ethiopia and has a wonderful little restaurant here, has finally got her cookbook published. I can vouch for her food. It's wonderful.
If you are looking for a unique cookbook, grab one. https://smile.amazon.com/Ethiopian-F...+by+Mulu+Belay |

I'm completely ignorant of any African cuisine. I know they did have a famine some years back. I'll have to do some research to see what it really is.

I watched a somewhat old documentary on North Korea last week. National Geographic people snuck in with a doctor and had to film secretly. Very disturbing how all of their people are indoctrinated from birth to love and worship their leader, a pure dictator. I think he even rates over any God that they might worship. They are ALL taught to hate Americans too, just because of the Korean War back 60 years ago. Scary stuff, imo. The doctor operated on 1,000 of the people for cataracts. Most or all were cured by him. Once they removed the bandages, they didn't thank the doctor, didn't thank any god, they all bowed down to the pictures of the Korean leader and thanked him. "Thank you oh great leader for restoring my eyesight. I will work much harder in the salt mines from now on to make you happy." Really? oh man. ;-0 |

The UN should step in and remove him for humanitarian reasons, IMO. |

Classically, it's made with a fermented batter that naturally contains bubbles of carbon dioxide. When we make it at home, we use a standard pancake recipe (minus the sugar), with added seltzer to thin the batter and add the bubbles. > > I think the meat was lamb. > > Prolly. > > Or goat, which is also quite good and much more available than one > might think.

That was a joke. First time I saw Sam Kinison doing a stand up comedy routine, he did a thing about Ethiopia. Might have been on SNL (?) It really cracked me up. This was soon after the "We are the World" concert to raise money for starving Ethiopians. You know how he would always work himself into a raving rant followed by ARRGHHHHH! "People in Ethiopia are starving. Well, NO KIDDING! YOU IDIOTS! YOU ALL LIVE IN THE F------ DESERT! ARRGHHHH!" LMAO! heheh And speaking of Sally Struthers....yeah she did "save the starving people" commercials too for awhile. Did you ever see the 1st year South Park cartoon about that? Equally funny as hell. From vague memory it showed a warehouse where all the snacky cakes were donated and sent too. Very large Sally was in there eating up all the snacky cakes. I loved first year of South Park. They went were no others dared to go. Ever see the Halloween episode where Cartman dressed up as Hitler? LOL |

Yes my pediatric nursing client's parents are from Kenya and the Mom cooks African food all the time. I smell but never taste any really because I'm there to work not eat. I come to work "pre fed" as I say! John Kuthe... |

This husband and wife team owned and operated a successful convenience store/market (no gas pumps). Along with stocking the usual convenience store items they made a point of selling fresh fruits and vegetables. They also served breakfast and lunch and had a few small tables if you wanted to eat in the store. They made some of the best fried chicken ever! If you went in shortly before lunchtime you could see one of the employees dredging the chicken in flour and dropping it in the deep fryer. IOW, they weren't selling Banquet frozen fried chicken. ![]() was quarter fries - lightly battered, quartered (lengthwise) potatoes, also deep fried. Nice and crispy outside but texture like a baked potato inside. Yum! I got to know them quite well over the years since I often stopped in to pick up breakfast on my way to work. So when Marta asked if I'd like to try a traditional Ethiopian meal (the spicy stew with injera bread) I was more than happy to accept. It was delicious. ![]() Jill |

Send them UHauls, boxes, luggage. We've been driving 750 miles across the desert every day to bring you food. How about you live where the food is? Come on, we'll make one trip! We'll take you where the food is! You live in a desert! See this? [stoops down to scoop up sand] It's sand. It will always BE SAND! Nothing grows out here! Nothing will ever grow out here! We have deserts in America, we just don't live in them!" (I guess he'd never been to Arizona or New Mexico. LOL) I don't know if he had a point but at the time it was very funny. "Somone on the film crew could have given that kid a sandwich." Heheh. Jill |

Banquet makes an acceptable meal if you're not real picky when you have nothing handy and come home from work and are tired. Certainly fresh fried chicken is better whether from a store, restaurant or at home. That said....Banquet does a decent job considering. Don't cut them down until you give them a try and I'll bet you never have. If you have and hate them, you're nit picky. Their fried chicken is fairly tasty. |

I've seen many animal documentaries where they will sit for days filming a dying animal. I could never do that. I realize they are filming real life and showing how wild animals live and die but to just sit there watching some animal suffer and filming it? Evil humans. Odd thing about the "starving children" commercials too. They all show very cute (and well fed) children standing there with a sad face. I suppose people will feel sorry for a cute child rather than a really starving and desperate one. Ever seen a pic of a seriously malnourished child? Skeleton body with a bloated stomach? I guess the real pics don't generate enough money. People see the cute child and are willing to send money. |

I was merely commenting on the fresh fried chicken at the convenience store and how they were not trying to pass off frozen food as fresh. They made biscuits from scratch, too. I saw them going into the oven. Bacon cooked on a griddle. And real eggs, not something poured out of a carton. > Banquet makes an acceptable meal if > you're not real picky when you have nothing handy and come home from > work and are tired.

And yes, I *have* bought a box of Banquet frozen fried chicken in the past. The best thing I could say about it was the coating was nicely crisp. It was also very salty, and I'm not one who goes out of my way to avoid salt. Jill |

I actually saw Sam Kinison live at the Orpheum in downtown Memphis. That was in the 1980's when Kinison was still making the stand-up rounds. I also saw Steve Martin at that show. He came out dressed like King Tut and singing his song "King Tut" from SNL. That wasn't funny, but he quickly changed into a suit. His stand-up routine was hilarious. In between comedy acts were some rather obscure musicians. Leon Redbone and Tom Waits. Okay, cool! I think we paid $15 per ticket. We laughed our asses off. It was a great night of entertainment. ![]() Jill |
