I went to the little store down the street to pick up some miscellaneous
items. Marta said, "Oh! I just made calamari, you have to try some!"

They serve all that southern style cooking but it's not her cup of tea
And calamari definitely wouldn't go over with the construction worker lunch
crowd! She used the big griddle to sort of stir-fry it. I have no idea how
she spiced it but it's got a mild burn factor. I spotted some green (like
jalapeno) pepper strips in it but can't really identify the other
seasonings. It's very tasty!

Jill <---will never turn down a free lunch, especially not when Marta cooks
it!

Marta doesn't drink but her husband Gabriel does! But he's never offered me
a drink; she has prepared traditional Nigerian fare for me to sample on
several occasions. She still owes me a spicy lamb dish! She put it off due
to Lent (they are Catholic) but insists she will make some for me to take
home for dinner one day soon.

I think you're confusing Nigeria with Ethiopia.

Nope.

At the moment here in Oz we have a huge problem with Nigerian scams.
All we hear about is people getting ripped off by them, so it was a turn up
to hear about some Nigerians actually giving something away.

It sure seems to go over well with the construction worker at happy hour
crowd though.
