Ethiopian Lunch & Coffee

No forks or spoons people! Just tear off a Injera and enjoy the chicken, lamb, spinach & cheese



My friends Gidi and Derartu recently had me over for lunch and coffee - Ethiopian style! Four years ago Gidi was living in Ethiopia, working as a state auditor. Every year the US Embassy holds a lottery and allows 2-3,000 Ethiopians to come to the US. To win this lottery and be allowed to come to the US is considered the ultimate in luck and prosperity. Gidi and his wife, Derartu, went through an extensive application process after winning the lottery and moved to the Seattle area, where they now live with their two beautiful children.
