Yeasted flat breads were a new cooking experience for me. I made these for a meze platter that I did as starters. As they could be made in advance I didn’t have to stand at the hob while we had guests over for dinner.

Head straight on to the Recipe For Yeasted Flat Breads ♥
The first flight I can remember taking was when I was 9 years old. I flew from Johannesburg to New York as an unaccompanied minor. One of my grandfather’s friends was on the plane flying first class and I can remember the cigar he was smoking. I am not sure when the airlines stopped people from smoking on flights but when I went to Israel in 1985 I don’t remember anyone smoking. What amuses me is that for years there have been no smoking signs on the planes. These are lit up next to the seatbelt sign above each row of seats. And of course they stay lit up the entire flight. People are also reminded verbally that the flight is a no smoking one. In this day and age I cannot imagine anyone lighting up on a plane.

But I do know of someone who went into the bathroom for a smoke and thought that her E Cigarette would be OK. So, as long as these people exist out there the no smoking signs will have to stay in place. But, on the newer planes these have now been replaced with a sign indicating when you can and cannot use your electronic items. It is as if cellphones are the new cigarettes! Despite these signs, people try to leave their electronic items on a long as possible before take-off and landing. And no sooner has the plane touched down than you hear a series of bings as messages come in to the numerous mobile devices suddenly on a network. I only noticed this sign a month ago so it was a new experience for me. Have you noticed this no electronic sign on a flight?

These look so good! I like making flat breads at our medieval events, and these are beauties. 🙂
They are so easy to make and so I can understand why you make them at your events 🙂
I am one of those people, Tandy. I stay on line until the last minute on flights and put my phones on the minute we land. Love these flat breads – yummy!
I can well understand with your job why you do that 🙂
