mmm, tastiness

I've got two khatchapuri in the oven, made with actual sulguni cheese. I put half the dough in the fridge for another meal. With some of the scrap dough from these two, I decided to try out the sweet red bean paste I have (canned) and made a wee little pastry with it.

(more about khatchapuri, though this isn't the recipe I used.)

You have red bean paste? YUM!

Yum!!

While I've got you here, what was it you sprinkled on the pita before toasting?

I rubbed it with olive oil, then ground pepper over it, sprinkled salt, rubbed (between my fingers) and sprinkled some dried thyme and oregano. I sprinkled on a generous amount of minced garlic--the kind that comes in a jar is actually better, because it's *wetter*. If you let freshly chopped garlic sit in some olive oil or salt water for a few minutes, it would probably be fine. And then I put on a bit of sumakh.

Sometimes I add parsley, though I'm not sure why--it doesn't add much flavor. Chives tend to burn and get tasteless. Basil is okay, but not necessary. Really, all that's necessary is salt, garlic, thyme,and sumakh... and olive oil. I just really like oregano. Sometimes I use kalonji/nigella seed instead of oregano, but it tends to fall off the bread.

Then I just stick it in the toaster oven somewhere between 250 and 350 until I can smell it two rooms away.

Sounds incredibly delicious

mmm I can almost smell it from here. Baking bread smells divine.

On another note, do you know of any place around here where I could shop for off the beaten path stuff for girls between the ages of 11 - 15?

Coyote. It's down on the Corner. If you're feeling well enough to venture out, I'd be happy to go with you. It's best to call ahead--I don't know if Vimela or Jimmy is working today, because the snow would cut down on business. I'm pretty sure xiane isn't working today, but she normally works all day Monday (11-7), Tuesday 11-3, and Wednesday (3? to 7).

I called. Jimmy is only staying til 4:30 today. I told him I was going to send someone down either today or tomorrow. ;)

There are some places on the DT Mall which might have things. And if you want interesting charms, there's a cute little shop on Garrett and Second, near the DT Mall. I'm not sure if they're open today.
