6. After cooking on each side, lightly brush lightly with oil and wrap in a towel to stay warm and moist until you are ready to eat them.

SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPING

How to get your purchases Home? When you find that perfect wall hanging for the den, or the Chinese silk rug you always dreamed of, or those dishes in France… Ship it!!! FedEx and other international shipping companies have locations in many cities, ports of call and resort locations. Before your leave home, call your local FedEx office , or similar in your home town and get the phone number of their offices in the cities, ports or resorts you're going to visit. It will save you a lot of time and aggravation at customs, and possibly money, since you won't have to claim it. In Europe it could probably save you VAT as well

Magical Indian Chappatis

This is the East Indian counterpart of a tortilla. As part of the staple of the diet in India, people eat Chappatis often, using them to scoop the food from their plates, instead of using utensils as we do in the West. These are one of my favorite things to make because I always have childlike wonder when I watch unleavened dough bubble and become something it wasn't when I started. Not only fun and fast to make, but delicious and nutritious! This is a great activity to involve family members in the joy of cooking.

  • 2 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 t. sea salt
    1 T. herb/spice flavoring of your choice
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. oil of your choice

1. Set aside about 1/4 cup of the flour to use on the countertop in rolling out the dough.
2. Add together all the dry ingredients and then add the water and oil and mix them together.
3. Take the mixture out of the bowl and knead for 5 minutes on the floured counter until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a half-dollar. Roll them out as thinly as you can.
