On the Dining front:
Today we went to Abay. This is a marvelous Ethiopian restaurant here in Pittsburgh. Yeah, Pittsburgh actually has an Ethiopian restaurant! People always ask me “So what does Ethiopian food taste like?” All I can say is, unique and wonderful.
The food is similar to Greek/Indian/Middle Eastern, yet it is different from all of those. You start out by ordering, we always get a sampler platter for two (or in tonight's case, three). It comes on a round pan on top of an injera. Injera is a type of bread that is similar to a crepe. Think sourdough crepe/pancake and you are very close. You then use pieces of another injera to select bites to eat and enjoy. It's a very hands-on experience. After you run out of injera, you use the main 'plate' injera and enjoy the pieces that have soaked up all the wonderful juices from the various dishes.
If you enjoy good, ethnic foods, you should definitely try Ethiopian, especially Abay!
