Lalibela, Washington, D.C.

Last night, I had a good time meeting a guy from Tulsa who's here in D.C. for June and July to do an internship out at American University. He'd not had any "exotic" food before, so I took him to Lalibela, an Ethiopean place at 14th and P. I thought their food was pretty good. We got one of those variety sampler trays, and it had collard greens, a cabbage and carrot dish, lentils, a lamb dish, two beef dishes (one hot, the other mild with peas), a chicken drumstick, and a hard boiled egg. I also sampled some Ethiopean beer called Harrar, which was pretty good for beer (I'm not a beer person).
