Silver Springs MD

[slb44]

Safely ensconced in our hotel room. Wine, cheese, fruit, crackers and little miniature apple raisin danishes from Whole Foods, the Stanley Cup final on tv, and the companionship of travellingone what more could a fangrrrl ask for? ;-)

Dinner was had an the Adis Abbaba restuarant which is Ethiopian and a favourite of our gracious hostess meri_oddities. This of course

Done!

However, you know I'm going to card you before you take possession of the scones. *beg*

Actually we're supposed to meet Widg in the lobby between six and six thirty.

Besides, I don't think I've got your email addy, do I?

::pounce:: Another Australian stalking!

*Gloms on and holds tight*

Ah, you see once we've got you we never let you go. *eg*

So the hotel snafu's occur in MD in general, regardless of convention. Nice toknow somethings never cahnge. ;)

And I'm amazed you didn't go to the Outback. I thought faux Australian was de riguer. If you do end up there, let me know if the 12-year old jailbait waiter is still working there. :D

PS I so wish I could be there with you. Have enough fun for me too, will ya? ;)

I probably could've played the irate card but chose not to. Mind you there's still that option.

Nope. As soon as Meri realized that Renee was up for ethnic/exotic we were off. *g*

Besides, no where near the other place. This hotel is much nicer. And the location is fantastic. Lots of shopping, cinemas, and lots of cool places to eat. There's a noodle place just around the corner we might try today.

Wish you were too hon. {hugs} We shall endeavour to do so. ;-)

Stealth Australians. We will take over the world... one brewery/vineyard at a time.

And fie on meri oddities for breaking the tradition of faux Australian. *g* Although Ethiopian sounds like fun. They have some fascinating bread recipes.

Two tvs *and* good reception ... imagine the havoc I could wreak. *g*

Huh. Texture's a tricky thing. It's often hard to get past the 'this is meant to be bread?' part of the brain. And then there's always some textures that just don't appeal.

What did you have? Because there's the 'just like all the other loaves' style bread, and the 'lets thicken that porridge until the spoon stands up and then bake it' style bread which frankly scares me. But teff flour sounds really neat nonetheless. Speaking as someone wheat intolerant, of course...

I wasn't to thrilled with the texture myself but was managing since there wasn't much else to eat of the substantial nature. But then every time R would comment or poke at the bread on her side of the platter it had an impact on my ability to get more of it down.

It really was the most bizarre texture. Almost like eating sour dough sponge without incorporating it into a bread dough and baking it. *g*
