indolence and expansion
Summer indolence has settled upon me. I’m still managing to get some work and teaching done every day, but not as much as I'd like. Not much going on. Not much to report.
One thing I did do, though, was finally get around to discovering Ethiopian food, thus proving that Derek has been right all this time about its fabulosity. Now I gotta learn to make my own sega wot and kik wot.

Best kept secret. I've been seriously craving some injera lately. Nearest place I can get it (that I'm aware of) in Central New York is Rochester. An hour's drive one way. I hear it's next to impossible to make, and I just haven't made time to try mixing a batch.
FWIW, in lieu of injera, I've taken to making Ethiopian spaghetti. Basically, it's just the onion-based berbere sauce on spaghetti noodles (add chicken or beef or boiled eggs with knife-slits in the sides or nothing at all). Easy to prepare (although the apt. and all fabrics fill up with the scent of onions). Pretty certain my first alternative to academia is an Ethiopian restaurant. I could be very content living my days in one of those.
