We’re all going on a summer holiday […] To make our dreams come true
Oh oh. Now I have an audio virus!! (I just listened to the actual opening of the song on YouTube – hahahahaha I LOVE the strings!)
Bookmarked Recipes: Armenian Tahini Bread
Bread Baking Babes (BBB): Sukkur bi Tahin
Took me a while!!
It’s a little embarrassing; my well-meant promise way back in 2010 to bake all the previous BBBabe breads still haunts me…. I’ve had these tahini swirls bookmarked for eons:
The TAHINI BREAD of Armenia is like a croissant mated with halvah. This unprepossessing sweet yeast bread […] awakens the senses the moment it leaves the oven, with the seductive aromas of sesame and cinnamon. The real joy, however, is in the bread’s flaky yet chewy texture
– Sarah Breckenridge, Armenian Tahini Bread, SAVEUR 100, No. 99 (February 2007), p71
These tahini swirls, called sukkar bi tahin in Arabic, are flattened flaky rounds flavored with tahini and sugar, not too sweet, not too strong tasting. Serve them warm or at room temperature-they’re just right either way.
– Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid, ‘Beirut Tahini Swirls’,

So. July 2019’s task asking us to choose a previous BBB July recipe was the perfect opportunity to “∫top two gaps with one bu∫h“.
If you see the Ocean Wise symbol next to a seafood item, you know that option is the best choice for the health of our oceans.
