Kim joins the Ethnic Bread of the Month Club.

Yay! Kim (Rachel's good friend from medical school) came to visit and together we pursued month #2 of our new year's resolution to make a new ethnic bread of the month. This month: Pita. We used a yummy recipe from allrecipes.com, found here. I think the reason for the success was placing the dough bowl near the fire in the wood stove, so that it was actually warm enough in that part of our house to rise. Interesting fact: After the pita is taken out of the oven, it's super fluffy, and has to be covered with a damp towel in order to become malleable and for the pita pocket to be as we all know and love. Schwarmas ensued, found here.

Wonderful time watching Rachel and Kim together. Alias reruns and games of Quiddler filled the hours, but they could tell you more about that than I can. We're not quite sure how we can fill 12 months with 12 different ethnic breads, so if you have any suggestions, then your idea could be our next ethnic bread...
