Breaking bread together

.
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.

  8. I 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!

  24. PA, 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.

    This reminds me of Indian Naan Bread, which I love...perfect for eating with curry.

  26. 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!)))
