If You Can't Stand the Heat...

...Get out of Toronto! It was such a beautiful weekend. Friday and Sunday were especially gorgeous but we spent all three days outside, in fact I'm suffering a sunburn as a result. I didn't take many pictures outside but to fill you in we spent some time wandering the parks of Toronto, exploring Little Italy, Korea Town, U of T campus, and were nearly guests at a crazy convention downtown along with the most notable Kookoo's of TO, and their dogs.

We were in the mood for something different so we decided to try Ethiopian food! We found this highly recommended joint on yelp.ca called Nazareth so after wandering around little Italy, we walked up to Bloor and entered this little bar I like to call Heaven.

Ethiopian food is served with a type of sourdough crepe/pancake type break that doesn't seem to be cooked...unless they steam them or something. I'm investigating mystery bread after I write this so stay tuned.

Andrew and our meal! Tibs with some vege samplers. 

We asked for something not too spicy to eat and either the funny waitress thought we were being sarcastic, or she didn't understand the word 'not'. Either way we were both hit with spice bombs in our first bite. 

Tibs - meat in sauce - in the middle
Vege sampler's - lentils in sauce, vege's in sauce with grape leaves, lettuce, cottage cheese

The strange bread! Not as thin as a crepe, not as bready as a pancake, bubbly, and easy to tear
