experience their culture, in the same way they were experiencing mine, would be if I were to fly to Ethiopia and start a new life.

Since teff flour is harder to come by, because of it being almost primarily grown in Africa; people have altered the recipe to use half teff and…

For my 20 time project I made Ethiopian food. The reason I chose this is because I have a four year old sister, Piper, who my family adopted from Ethiopia last year, and I wanted to learn more about what it was like there, and also to kind of bring it back for her. Throughout this project, I was hoping to learn more about what it is like there, what they do and how they do it. For my project, I researched a traditional coffee ceremony, I looked up recipes, ingredients, common foods, and special…

These include rice, millet, polenta, amaranth, teff, sorghum, and sometimes oats. A lot of people wonder if oatmeal is gluten free and while it technically is, it is often grown in the same field as wheat and processed on the same equipment, making it easy for people to experience a cross-reaction. If you suffer from a gluten intolerance or sensitivity it's important to buy your oats from a company that has them certified as gluten free. Another great option to eat is quinoa, but this is…

Never give up cause you will never achieve in thing, but giving up. Like tom never gives up on cutting Jerry. I don't give up when my we lost every game but two.

However, many competed for dominance in the area, and in 1270 CE, the Shewa ruler led a rebellion that established the Solomonic dynasty continued to control…

To our disappointment, the injera she found in the Ethiopian store was not authentic. We went from store to store looking…
