Why I love Lent
Ironically, to Ethiopians, this is "fasting season" meaning they go vegan (with the possible exception of fish). For me, it is feasting season, with 12-dish veggie combos that cost $13 for 4 meals worth of food, and a huge assortment of vegan cakes and cookies at the Ethiopian bakery next door. Dama, how I love thee. They kept refilling the dishes we ate the most of, making it impossible to finish. We were totally stuffed by the time we got here and went next door to acquire vegan baked goods.
