Gatur's Ethiopian: The Fabulous Menu

·

Okay, I just can't stay away from this place. Where where where were they all these years?? Got some Mutabuq to devour with tea today...

So Gatur's Ethiopian cuisine menu is FINALLY online. Ripped it from Facebook to post here:

If you haven't been here, you are TOTALLY MISSING OUT. Drop everything and just go. You will love it. Gatur's serves up some seriously delicious foodie heaven food.

Gatur's Ethiopian Cuisine: Superawesome food!

·

It's here!! In Allentown. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Ethiopian niche cuisine is FINALLY in our neighbourhood in downtown Buffalo. Gatur's Ethiopian restaurant is open - within *walking distance* on Allen Street.

I wish this had happened sooner and not a mere two weeks before I am moving out of Buffalo. But I am not going to complain. I tried their lentil Sambusa and Bagia with the Ethiopian hot chutney today and was blown away. Really D.E.L.I.C.O.U.S! Can't wait to try ALL their other food!

Hopefully, the owner will mail me the PDF of their menu to post. We are going to lunch there at
3.00 PM, Wednesday, August 15. Join us!!

Chocolate anxiety.

·

When there is no chocolate on walgreens shelves. Well... there is chocolate but not MY favourite chocolate.

I realize I eat chocolate like it were popcorn or something but still... they are out of *my favourite* chocolate today. They say it will be re-stocked soon. But I want it now, dammit.

I hear they are very good.

Me at 7:00 PM: Rushing out of Walgreens with the speculoos.
Buffalo Police on Walgreens duty pointing at Biscoffs: Man, I hear they are very good. Everyone is getting one today. I need to try those...

Me at 7:15 PM: Rushing back into Walgreens because I forgot to get the shortbread I wanted.
Buffalo Police on Walgreens duty pointing at someone else's frozen pizza: Man, I hear they are very good. I need to get that!

Me at 8:00 PM: Back to walgreens for the chocolate.
Buffalo Police on Walgreens duty pointing at twizzlers in someone's checkout pile: Man, it's been ages since I had that! I hear they are sweeter now. I need to try that!

Conversation starter? Genuine interest? Or just massive hunger?

Anyway. Behold, a dinner of depravity.

Lindt & Sprüngli Chocolate

·

I don't know what was the %cocoa in the Lindt chocolate @paul #54915 posted but I don't get why they decided to change their simple uncomplicated old recipe in all the other bars except the 85% (and possibly 90%) to include palm oil, soy lecithin etc. Why weren't the ingredients below that work SO well enough?
