Michelle Dortignac and I love Ethiopian food. We’ve even learned to make a few of our favorite recipes. One of the key ingredients in Ethiopian cooking is a spiced ghee called Niter Kibbeh.
As you may know, ghee is clarified butter; heated and then the milk solids skimmed off leaving just the pure butter fat. Niter Kibbeh is made by further simmering the ghee with a blend of spices to infuse their additional flavor into the butter fat.
Our recipe for Niter Kibbeh adds minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped onion, turmeric, black pepper, cardamom, fenugreek, cumin, kalonji (nigella), cinnamon, and clove. 
The ghee is simmered with these ingredients for about 30 minutes and then strained through a sieve or cheesecloth, resulting in a golden spiced butter fat that is smooth, rich, aromatic, and divinely delicious.
We are having a new friend from here in Lancaster for dinner tonight, and we will be making Misir Wat, a spiced red lentil stew, and Atakilt Wat, a cabbage, potato and carrot dish. 
We have not yet mastered the making of Injera bread, the flat pancake with which you eat this cuisine. So we will be ordering some from a local Ethiopian restaurant for today.
That’s what’s cooking in Kenny and Michelle’s kitchen, on this Ophelia induced rainy day!

First hang on the new rig! We just completed the installation of Michelle‘s new aerial yoga rig here at our new home!
This is what all of this renovation has been about; to make a fabulous aerial yoga space inside of this old house. 
We’ve been planning this for quite some time, in fact our whole search for a home here in Lancaster was predicated on finding a place where we could make some thing like this happen. 
Next project will be redoing the floors; here in the yoga room as well as the bedroom and office on this level. Starting immediately, we will be taking out the carpeting, and then having the floor either refinished or replaced with some nice engineered vinyl laminate planks. And then all the rooms need to be painted.
Huge thank you to Scott Fisher and Bill Auld for insights and guidance on the rigging. Also big thank you to Rich Morse at Renovation Lancaster for the ceiling removal, and installation of the radiant barrier and attic fan.

Adding some height to the yoga room in our new house! We are having the ceiling removed above the yoga room, opening up into half of the attic. This will give enough room for us to build a pipe truss above the joists, for Michelle to rig off of for aerial yoga classes.
The other half of the attic will become a loft/clubhouse overlooking the yoga room below.

Infra-Ken. Not a filter, but rather a thermal imaging camera that plugs into my iPhone.
We’ll be using this tool to analyze any heat or cooling loss issues in our new home. However, that won’t stop me from playing around with it before then!

Yesterday was my birthday. They say I’m 60 years old, but I don’t feel it at all!
For my big birthday, I wanted to make a big change, and I think we’ve succeeded! A new home and a new life to make in Pennsylvania.
I’m the luckiest guy to have such amazing friends and family around me — starting with my beautiful wife @michelle_unnata, and then to everyone in NYC, USA, and the world.
Thank you everyone! You’re all invited to come visit our new life location anytime you want!

Say hello to this cute little visitor we saw in the backyard of our new home here in Lancaster!
It’s a baby opossum, a common local animal seen here. They eat tons of ticks and help prevent Lyme disease in Pennsylvania!
(From Lancaster Online):
Here are a few other amazing factoids about the largest member of the marsupial family in the Western Hemisphere:
They have a near immunity to rabies.
They can`t be harmed by the bites of rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and other pit vipers.
They have been around since the time of T-Rex and likely ate dinosaur eggs.
Early settlers in the Jamestown settlement in Virginia described them as "beast in bigness of a pig and in taste alike."
When threatened they will involuntarily faint, seemingly dead. At the same time, they release the smell of a dead or sick animal. Their lips roll back, baring their teeth and saliva foams from their mouths. They may remain like this from a few minutes to four hours.
They do not hang by their tails, as sometimes erroneously depicted.

Holy crap! Michelle and I have already found our new home here in Lancaster! We are now in contract for this absolutely cute house in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Lancaster!
More details and pix to come, but here are a few teaser shots for now. I’ll post more in the comments below.
We are beyond exhausted from this process, but very excited to make our new home here. Cannot wait to have everyone over — we’ll have plenty of extra room for guests.

Give us this day our daily bread. A Thanksgiving theme of sorts. This delicious loaf of sourdough bread (called a Micca) will be transformed into a Wild Mushroom Stuffing. But today I’m starting by cutting into half-inch cubes and then drying out. There will eventually be leeks, celery, crimini mushrooms, oyster and shiitake mushrooms, sage, thyme, parsley, eggs and veggie chicken stock.
The term micca means crumb and is the name of the oldest and most typical bread of Parma, Italy. This sourdough micca is from Saraghina Bakery here in Brooklyn.
Happy Pre-Thanksgiving everyone!

Breaking News: Kenny and Michelle are Leaving NYC!
We are totally excited and very nervous to announce that we have put our apartment on the market (starting today!) and will soon be moving to Lancaster, Pennsylvania!
If everything works out we’ll actually move about mid-January of 2023.
There’s no single reason for the move, but we both feel that we’ve accomplished what we need to living in NYC, and it’s time to shake things up a bit in our lives.
We wanted to stay in the northeast of the country, and as a friend noted today, Lancaster is in the South West of the North East!
We’re looking forward to a slightly slower-paced lifestyle, and also the open country nearby. While Lancaster county is in the heart of Amish country, the city of Lancaster is totally cute, very walkable, and super friendly.
And with an Amtrak station right in town, it’s actually really easy to get here from NYC Penn Station — so we hope that y’all can come for a visit! We’ll actually have a guest room for you!
NYC (NY) has been home to us for many years — 30+ years for Michelle, and I was born here but lived in the mid-west a bit before we moved back to Long Island in the early 70’s.
We’ll miss all of our wonderful friends, and all the great things about NYC, but are looking forward to new adventures and experiences.
We’re still here for a couple more months, and hope to catch up with everyone before we go. But we’ll be fairly close by, and will swing back often, I’m sure.
That’s the news for now!
Attached here are the professional photos we had taken for our listing. We`ll really miss this place.

CLOUDHENGE! I’ve never seen anything like this! As the sun was setting here in New York, we saw what looked like shadows on the bottom of the clouds.
Then it hit me, that these must be shadows of skyscrapers in the Manhattan skyline being projected onto the bottom of the clouds, by the very low angle of the setting sun shining upwards onto the clouds.
Whoa! So cool!!!

Inspired by our culinary crusader friends Leigh Witchel and Rodrigo Alonzo, we made a new dish here tonight — one that Michelle Dortignac has been hankering for for a while: African Peanut Soup. (Domoda)
We substituted no-chicken chicken stock, and some faux chicken for those respective ingredients, making this a 100% vegan endeavor.
From the recipe: Warming fresh ginger, jalapeño, cumin and plenty of garlic make a spicy base for this creamy, sweet-savory African peanut soup recipe.
Groundnut stews—groundnut is another word for peanut—are a traditional part of the cuisine of many West African countries, including Gambia and Ghana.
Peanut Butter Soup Obviously Has Peanut Butter—But What Else?
Olive oil
Fresh garlic and ginger
Jalapeno diced, seeds and ribs removed
Cumin
Tomato paste
Canned crushed tomatoes
Stock—we use regular, not low-sodium.
Sweet potatoes
Chickpeas
Creamy natural peanut butter.
Chicken, poached and shredded (or pulled from a store-bought rotisserie chicken)
Kale
Neex na! Safna sap!
