...Of Grannies and roasted goats...

So my beloved grandmother is around and we have been havin a few adventures ourselves. What’s not to love about a 75 year old granny who is slightly prejudiced about guys with long hair or ladies who wear trousers? or most recently, “women with babies in their bellies” or expectant ladies in our lingo.

But aaah yes I love my granny. I see where I get my sense of humor from. Let alone the fact that she hates my driving and my baby…the Hummer. But I do enjoy spending time with her. The other day we went to this building in town and she totally refused to get into the elevator, citing that the person who controls them is as much worse driver as me. Compromise, compromise. Yes, that’s always the word for the day.

 

More granny news later. So we went to Ole’Tepes and if you are a devourer of meat like me. you get me!! We had sizzling roast meat, “Nyama Choma” baby!!! Sumptuous, roasted potatoes…the largest I have ever seen, I was even afraid to partake off…succulent stewed goat..whaaaat. am so going back there again very soon. It was pure delight. And amazing how all decorum flies out the window when this delicacy is in play. I was almost shouting “ Women and Children first”, but I was reminded that this is not the Titanic, and if I keep blubbering…I’ll end up with a well licked plate.

But that side of town, I like. No hustles of daily life, it was soo picturesque I shade a tear...well, almost. And the cream of it all was the Zebras…like real life zebras just a few yards from me, wickedly enchanting it was. And that’s when I got an epiphany. If all else fails…I will buy land these sides and rear ostriches, like pedigree ostriches…and I’ll have Ostrich races, and Ostrich petting zoos. and “Ostrich-on-a-stick” mmmh wonder what Ostrich meat tastes like??

But one thing I do know…is that Ethiopian is food for the gods. My Taste buds go on frenzy every time there is a mention of it. So, every Friday, is “Ethiopian and Techno” and they go down together nicely. If you go Ethiopian, you never go back. And the Ethiopian gourmet coffee, Olalla.. just makes you speak another language.

So folks, it’s the weekend. Enjoy it. By all means Enjoy it to the fullest. Errant Photographer out!!!
