Our Ethiopian meal and summer canning




While Roy was in Arizona several months ago he ate at an Ethiopian restaurant. They serve their meal on a bread made out of teff grain called inhera. He described it like a spongy pancake. We ordered teff from the food coop and finally had our Ethiopian meal. Jenny found recipes on line and we experimented. Jenny ground the teff and fermented it overnight. She prepared three different dishes. They were a little spicy, but tasty. We decided the teff ferminted too long, it was a little strong. We also had quite a few cherries from produce coop that needed to be used, so Annie made a cherry pie to go with our meal. It was everyone's favorite part of the meal. HeeHee Good ole American Food, got a love it. We'll experiment again with our teff.
Also posted a pic of our summer canning. Jenny and Joy have been making peach and strawberry jam and Joy, Jenny, and I have put up pickles and pickled okra. Yum, Yum. Our pickles have consisted of dill, bread and butter, and icicle pickles. Joshua says his favorite are the icicle pickles.
