Bread Making at the Stinky Stores

My friend Terri found a new bread store the other day. This Afganistan man sits cross legged all day long cooking this bread. He gets the dough out on this bread board and and then bends over and slaps the board against the clay pot oven and the bread sticks to the sides of the clay pot and it cooks there in about 45 seconds and then he sticks his two sticks in there and grabs them and brings them up and and puts them on the counter. The oven is proably 800 degrees. This mans name is Mohamad.

The other cross legged man flattens out the bread for him. The younger mans name is Mohamad
This is the bread dough man. He prepares the dough. His name is Mohamad.

This is were the bread rises, I asked him if he would teach me how to make the bread. He said, YES so I think I will go and do it sometime. 8 am start time.

It has been so fun to read over your blog... it makes me homesick for crazy Abu Dhabi. Your writing makes me laugh right out loud. I think only people who've spent time over there really get it, you know? Hope everything else is going well for you guys- we miss and love you lots.
