I’m sick today (no idea why – I only had potatoes for dinner last night and surely even I can’t get sick from potatoes?!) and so have spent the whole day lying on the sofa (or in the bathroom …) feeling sorry for myself.
God bless A and Ab who brought Ambo (Ethiopian fizzy water – the best fizzy water in the world, beats Perrier any day!) and biscuits to settle my stomach.
The reason I bring this up is that Ab bought me a packet of Bourbons, and I’m intrigued, because all the biscuits were back to front. The two bits of biscuit in the Bourbon sandwich are upside down, so the rounded edge which you normally find on the outside of the biscuit are the sides stuck together with the chocolate cream.
No big deal (it certainly didn’t spoil my enjoyment of them!), I’m just wondering. Is it a particular Ethiopian preference? A cultural thing?!
I have to get out more…
About Me
- Jenny
- In July 28th 2008, I left behind a perfectly good job, flat and life (!) and moved to Ethiopia for ... well, for a variety of different reasons, some selfish, some not. I spent 15 months there, based in Addis and in Lalibela, and this blog was started to chart my ups and downs and the work Hanna's Orphanage and LEAP do there. I no longer live in Ethiopia, but I still visit two or three times a year and continue to work on my charity, Hanna's Orphanage, as well as with others, including LEAP and Football Action. You can follow it all here, as well as see how you can help or get involved! (www.hannasorphanage.org.uk /www.myspace.com/hannasorphanage / www.leap-ethiopia.com) And please do get in touch - I will be very pleased to hear from you!!
