When I first came to Bloomington, we had Ethiopian food. The lunch food wasn't as good as my memories of San Francisco, but it was decent, and the spicy butter-soaked injera was heart-stoppingly good. But then it turned into our third Thai restaurant, and I was sad.
But it's back! I heard last night we had Ethiopian now as part of Puccini's, the Italian restaurant at 4th and Dunn. I confirmed its presence tonight, by the name of Ashenga's. Dinner only I think, with $13 entrees, but hey. My Secret Waitress Contact told me the owner of Puccini's was actually the owner of Red Sea, having started with that, moved up to Italian, and now moved up to both.
Haven't eaten there yet, since I'd just had pasta and clams at home, but I anticipate doing so soon...
As a side note, my IUCU ATM card seems to have been deactivated, which I found out by trying to use it. WTF? And it's a Friday.
