Bread--before and after.A bunch of B words for ABC Wednesday.
Bread being baked by a Bedouin.
Back in 2008 a dozen Jewish Israelis took part in a 5-day immersion course in spoken Arabic.
Part of each day we studied in class.
Each of us was hosted by a different family.
It was a blessed being together.

Communication and bread. What more do we need?
ReplyDeleteI was on a tour of a Bedouin village with two of the grandchildren, a few years ago. The children loved the camels, tents, clothes etc but mostly they loved the baking and eating of the bread!
ReplyDeleteRather food for the soul.
ReplyDeleteWonderful entry !
Please have a good Wednesday.
Beautiful choice for this week! The bread looks yummy!

Looks so similar to any number of Asian open flame-cooked flat breads. Yum.

This is such a wonderful bridge to understanding. I love this photo. I wonder how that tasted.
ReplyDeleteI love that bread!
ReplyDeletecan you speak arabic?
ReplyDeletePA, so I know a little Arabic, but wish it were more. But sometimes even my few words are enough to show a speaker of Arabic that I care about their language.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Indian Naan Bread, which I love...perfect for eating with curry.
Nice post.
Thanks for sharing.

I always know that bread is the most tasty, the best food ever. Specially the eastern bread, made of only flour and water in oven. And the smell, oh, the smell!)))
