Frank Turley Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think the anthropologists use the term "ephemeral art" for thing such as flower arrangements and ceremonial painting. I consider these bread loaves in that class. They are from the Indian village of Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, what the women do to have a little fun.

Daswulf Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What could be better then tasty art! Too bad it dosnt last. I'd bet it tastes as good as it looks. brings to mind all the beautiful art I see that is temporary and only lasts through photos or memory.

ausfire Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yep, they would definitely be ephemeral at my place. Straight from the oven with a bit of butter and vegemite. Yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 You need to show those ladies some pictures of smithing equipment so you can get them with anvils and such on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenaaron Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 DO they use the wood fired Adobe ovens like they do at Acoma. Those things produce amazing bread. Even better when one of those old ladies is trying to outdo a younger one to show her she has a lot more to learn. mmmmmmmm......brreeaadd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yes, the baking is done in an horno, the Spanish word for oven. It is spheroidal and of adobe with a small hole near the top acting as a simple flue. The horno has a flat floored bottom and a small entry on one side. A fire is built within and when deemed hot enough, the floor ash is dragged out with clean, wet rags on the ends of reaching sticks. The loaves are inserted and withdrawn when baked, with wooden peels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
