It's been two weeks since my last post. That's unacceptable. Naturally, I deflect any blame for this, and instead ask why you, my loyal audience, hasn't deluged me with demands for more posting. Specifically, I blame Mike. 

I have two posts in the works, but unfortunately neither is ready yet. To whet your apetite, here are a couple of teasers:

One features a European import that I only recently became aware of, although my friends who fly Delta have long been in the know (and yes, my ego is still recovering from my long ignorance).

The second features Billy Zane- enough said.

In the meantime, I have two things to offer you. First, I baked this mean looking challah last week:

Second, I had the best Ethiopian food I've ever had last week at Zenebech Injera.

It's on the corner of T St NW and Florida, has half a dozen tables, and when I asked the owner for help ordering, he suggested we try a dish with raw beef!

When I told him I couldn't sell raw beef to the other people in my party, he gave us some to try anyway. It wasn't bad, but a couple of the other dishes we tried were incredible.  

You should go check it out.
