Stuffed with Food and Culture

July 25th, 2009 by Elizabeth

I am totally wiped after an amazing day with my friend Kristen in the city.  We went to the Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto exhibit at the MFA before heading over to Addis Red Sea for Ethiopian food.  I’d never had it before and it was INCREDIBLE.  I ordered 4 veg dishes to try (collard greens, cabbage, lentils and split peas).  Seriously delicious.  I liked it a lot more than Indian food.  The spice level was similar without the gloppy sauce.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Indian too, but Ethiopian was super light and delicious.  I will be going back again!

We also had 2 glasses of wine with our lunch and planned to go back to the MFA to see the regular collection, but realized we only had about 45 minutes until the museum closed.

So instead, we shopped around on Boylston and hit up Anthro.  I got a dress for $88!!!  I’ve never paid less than a $100 for an Anthro dress in my life (except for that knock-off abomination already discussed elsewhere which I cannot even discuss without becoming rageful).

Pics hopefully coming soon, Kris was responsible and brought her camera.  Husband needed ours to document fishing this afternoon.

I need a nap.

Salaamata,

E.

    Ooh, Ethiopian food. I need to hit this place when I’m in town. Did you have injera with it?

    Yes indeed! It was so delicious, I can’t wait to go back. Evidently the one on Tremont street is the best. A friend just went to the one in Cambridge and was disappointed.
