Pilates today.  This is the Pilates for weight loss.  I like the workout and the ocean scenery.


Proverbs chapter 15 - Good advice about watching what you say so you don't regret it later.


On this day;
1976 I lived in Birmingham and quite often worked two jobs to make ends meet.  I started working the hatcheck room at the Scotch and Sirloin along with my day job at Quality.  It was a very lucrative job until the owner found out how lucrative it was and made me start sharing with the house.  Not quite as lucrative but still worth while.


1774 - The new Continental Congress, the governing body of America’s colonies, passed an order proclaiming that all citizens of the colonies "discountenance and discourage all horse racing and all kinds of gaming, cock fighting, exhibitions of shows, plays and other expensive diversions and entertainment." This couldn't have lasted long, we love our vices too much.  surprised they didn't all get back on the boat and go back to Europe.


Parenting - Going up to spend the week with my brother.  Taking Mom too of course.  My sister in law, Alice went on a cruise with her girl friends and Andy is ok but better if someone is up there.  It is a beautiful time of year to go up there, hopefully we will have some decent weather to at least take a ride up to Gaylord or somewhere.  Going to pick Andy's brain on history from the 60's too, for my book.  Wish me luck with the laptop.


Ethiopia


Ethiopian cuisine (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ምግብ) characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes, usually in the form of wat (also w'et or wot), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread,^[1] which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour.^[1] Ethiopians eat exclusively with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes.^[1] Utensils are rarely used with Ethiopian cuisine.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church prescribes a number of fasting (tsom Ge'ez: ጾም ṣōm) periods, including Wednesdays, Fridays, and the entire Lenten season; so Ethiopian cuisine contains many dishes that are vegan.^[2]

This meal, consisting of injera and several kinds of wat (stew), is typical of Ethiopian cuisine.   We are going to Blue Nile in Ferndale to sample this again.  It is good!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
