The other day I needed a green onion for a recipe.
Just one.
They don’t sell them as just one here though. I got a small package of 6-7.

Daylily days
It’s that time of year. Only a few of the day lilies here are blooming but in a few days it should be quite a riot of color at the top of my hill. Where I can’t see them without effort , but even so.

By this time tomorrow I’ll have crossed over into Ethiopia!
Actually by the time this posts I’ll have long since crossed but you know. Magic of scheduling, because I had those trips planned. No worries I’ll be back to “real time” shortly.
Anyway, I might have to look for an Ethiopian restaurant for this one. So far most of the recipe calls for spices I can’t readily get or wouldn’t use often enough to warrant the investment. Or they start with saying things like, you’ll need (something I’ve never heard of) but no worries that’s readily available in your local Ethiopian food store.
My whatnow? No. I don’t think they understand my problem. I don’t even have a local Ethiopian restaurant.
I haven’t given up yet though. There’s time, there’s time, to decide whether or what to make.
Still, progress on the map is encouraging!
