Food Market

We have been talking in various places about the food markets that pop up all over the place in the afternoons during this fasting month.

They are awesome and you can get lots of great food for pretty cheap.  Like tonight: we got all our supper and leftovers for under $10.  Its so super good!  

Here you see some action shots of guys cooking one of our favorites--Murtabak.  

First these guys take some kind of bread dough and throw on a ton of melted butter.  Then they toss it about like pizza dough getting it thinned out.

Then it gets a mixture of egg, meat, and veggies.  This guy tonight was different since he was cracking the egg and then rubbing it around with his hands.  Then he would take his eggy hand and reach into the box of precooked ground beef and throw a handful in.

Now what we really love about this guy is that his veggies (onions) are separated.  And that he cooks with a bunch of tools you normally find at Lowe's in the Paint/Drywall section.

At some point they are cooked to a golden brown and then wrapped in paper, packaged with some awesome curry and sold for $1.  WOW!!

Speaking of curry, Randy has taken to treating us like addicted people.  Last week he asked us, "How many times have you eaten curry this week?"  To which we, of course, answered, "Everyday.  Sometimes twice a day."  

Ewww .... we are hooked.  But at least its a good hooked.

Anyway, here is a shot down the lane at folks buying their food to take home and eat at exactly 7:06pm when they can break their fast!!  

It was raining there this afternoon.  Its raining here almost everyday but at least then it cools off a little.
