Invitation

We were invited to go over to Kebebush, our cook's, home for Christmas dinner:
This is the formal wear (white) for the Christmas holiday.
Kebebush's sister and husband

Because the Ethiopian food is spicy hot - she made us Lasagna
in case we couldn't eat it. 

She made this bread - very soft and good.




A fermented fig juice - called Ethiopian Beer (non-alcoholic)  



Ethiopian sour dough bread - you tear a piece and pick up the meat and sauce (very spicy)
and eat it with your hands


They have a coffee ceremony here - it is very important to them.
They roast their own coffee and brew it right there (we didn't try this of course).

Our 2 minute LIVE goat!

Because of the upcoming Easter holiday, our cook warned us that there would not be any sheep available for two months and the best thing to do is to buy a whole sheep right now. I was like "Seriously?" So, we did and I was a mess - poor little guy! We will probably NOT do this again. But I have to say that we had sheep for dinner the next day and the it was AMAZING! Talk about fresh! I was so worried about Seth with this (of course we didn't watch), but it was ME who had the worse time!
