~ Highlight of the Day: getting my ballot in the mail. I'ma gonna vote ~

Today we went on a field trip. It was the BEST FIELDTRIP EVER! We herded sheep and looked at plants. Lots of plants :) Oh! And we made pita bread, and red lentil porridge, and popped wheat, and herbal tea, and zatar. Homemade pita is easy to make, and is soooo good. It's just flour, water, salt, and oil, and then you cook them on this cool upside down wok. And the red porridge is just onions, lentils, oil, water, salt, cumin, and paprika. Zatar is simply ground up hyssop.

Look! An unbaked pita!

 

This is Hyssop.

 

By the way, this is what I'm making this Christmas break. . . I made a ukulele last year, and this year I'm going to make a classical mosaic rosette. Super simple, super easy :)

 

 A voting ballot! Yeaaaaaaaa!

(I'll feel differently about this in a day or so when I'm paying to get the thing back to the US. . . :)
