'Tis a gift to be simple. Yet, somehow things are never simple in the Whitfield household. We have made the decision to adopt a child (or two!) from Ethiopia. Please check our blog from time to time for the latest in our adoption journey. Your prayers and support are always welcome!

Ethiopian Food Take Two

On New Years Eve Josh and I had “take one” of our Ethiopian food adventure. It was not the experience we had envisioned. The restaurant was “iffy” to say the least. This time we tried The Queen of Sheba in Addison and it was GREAT! We met up with my mom, my brother and a few of my cousins which made it even better. The staff was wonderful and the food was so good. Here are a few pictures of our Ethiopian dinner:

One of the most charming-and practical! -aspects of Ethiopian hospitality is the “hand washing ceremony” at the beginning and ending of every meal called “SEN’NA BERT.”Injera – Spongy, flat, sourdough bread used to pick up your food. You could ask for a fork, but they will give you a hard time about it!
The Queen’s Dinner – A taste of just about everything on the menu. I can’t say I loved all of it, but now I know what I want next time. Heart for Africa necklace that my cousins surprised me with (thanks Tavish, Dan, Danyel, and David)!
