Melkam Gena (Merry Christmas)

Today, January 7th, is Christmas in Ethiopia, known as Gena (also spelled Ganna and Gena). Ethiopia's calendar is different from ours ~ you can read about it in my previous post here.

Yesterday we went to Red Sea Addis, an ET restaurant in Boston to celebrate. Actually, I have been wanting to go there for months and a Christmas celebration was the perfect reason. I was not sure what to order so we got a combination platter. Their doro wat was much better than my ghetto crockpot version. I am not a huge fan of red meat and this becoming more true with each passing year; however, the beef dishes were amazing!
