meatless fridays

Every Wednesday and Friday, Ethiopians refrain from eating any meat, so
lunch today consisted of injera (the sour flatbread) with sauces (wat)
made of potato, lentils and vegetables. There was also an enormous green
pepper sitting on the plate, but it looked spicy so I didn't try it.
After lunch we had macchiato again. It comes in a short glass sitting on
a small glass saucer. There is a dark top foamy layer of coffee and
steamed milk with a lot of sugar settled on the bottom of the glass. I
stirred it up and drank down the sweet concoction, wide-eyed and ready
for the afternoon.
