Justin and I decided to take advantage of our one sunny day yesterday, and went for a long walk. I took my cameras.

So I bought a new sleeve for my Kindle from Sakizome on etsy, and oh my goodness, just look how it was packaged! It took about a week and a half for it to arrive from Singapore, but it was worth the wait. The sleeve is so cute and well made, and it fits my Kindle perfectly. I originally bought this case, but I didn’t like it because it smelled really strongly of leather, it’s too heavy, and it turns out that I prefer to read my Kindle as is, without a case. So I just needed a simple sleeve to protect it when I put it in my purse.
Anyway, my new red riding hood case came wrapped in tissue with a little sticker, tied with ribbon, and slipped into a cellophane bag with a button bookmark, a discount postcard, a tiny thank you tag, and a handwritten thank you letter from the vendor. Even better was that the stationary AND the tape on the outside of the package matched my red riding hood Kindle case. Talk about attention to detail! Such a fun mail day.

He’s so sweet. Most of the time.
I like it when he sleeps on his head.
Tonight we made this recipe with our Farmhouse kale, and it was so good. (I threw in some carrots for good measure.) We also gobbled up some of our red-leaf lettuce, carrots, and avocados in a salad… I’m still loving getting fresh produce delivered to my door every week.

Last weekend we had a late dinner at Karibu Ethiopian Restaurant. I don’t have much experience with Ethiopian food, but I liked what I tasted. We ordered three plates, and it was all brought out on one platter, family style, with a side of injera bread. No utensils were offered; I love that!
We had:
- Kifto – beef tartare seasoned with herbal purified butter, mitmita, and cardamom, and topped with cottage (farmer’s cheese). We ordered it rare, and while I’m usually fine with raw beef, I’m not so comfortable with raw ground beef. I tasted it, but didn’t risk any more than that.
- Kay Misir Wot – red split lentils simmered in spicy sauce
- Kik Alicha – yellow split peas simmered in an herb sauce
- Difin Misir Wot – whole brown lentils blended with diced onions
- Tikil Gomen – stewed cabbage, carrots, onions and tomatoes
- Fosolia – sauteed string beans and carrots
- Abesha Gomen – slow-cooked collard greens, peppers, ginger, garlic and onion
We scooped it all up with spongey injera bread. The bread wasn’t my favorite thing… I’m not a huge fan of sourdough breads, and this is definitely a sour bread. But I really enjoyed all the spiced lentils and vegetables. I’m ready to try Ethiopian again soon!
