Kokeb Revisited
So, since announcing this sweet little bug that’s come into our life, our food blog has once again been neglected.
But it’s been with good reason. I mean, really, do you want to read posts about what we’ve been eating lately?
All the glamorous evenings of cottage cheese and saltines in bed? Or how about the week I ate nothing but oranges and the biggest Jamba Juices I could get my hands on? Or the attempts at going down to Seattle for a meal only to have the baby dramatically change its mind afterward? (It’s a good thing I don’t know people in the parking lots, folks.)
I can’t hardly look at my cookbooks without wanting to dry heave, much less be creative in the kitchen.
However, there are those rare moments when the belly craves actual grown-up food. And we pounce on them.
Thankfully, the baby is loving lots of ethnic foods. While lots of meat and vegetables are grossing me out (except for greens, which I can put away at an alarming rate), small bits of meat and finely chopped veggies stewed in spices or sauces with carbs are sitting well.
Indian curries, Thai soups, and *glorious sounds as the heavens part* Ethiopian food.
For Mother’s Day, Josh and I had the loveliest, most relaxing day. We puttered around Seattle, watched a beautiful documentary, laid in the grass at the Locks and topped it all off with a meal at our favorite Ethiopian spot, Kokeb.
There’s nothing like looking at your old posts to humble you.
At any rate, it was a perfect meal and the baby loved it to boot. All three of us left feeling quite satisfied.
