Day 65

Made Belizean fry jacks and beans for breakfast

Recipe here:
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
5 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp Shortening
1-1/2 cup water 
Vegetable oil for cooking

Mix all dry ingredients together, cut in shortening. Add water to the dry ingredient mixture, kneed into soft dough. Make 10 balls of dough, cover and let sit for 20 minutes.
Heat 1-1/2 inches of oil in a pan. Roll out each ball like a thin pizza crust and cut a small hole in the center.  Gently place each "jack" in the oil, the dough will puff up and brown on one side, flip over to brown.  Remove from oil and start your next fry jack!  Serve with beans and scrambled eggs (or cinnamon and sugar if you're American!)


Went to church at Bethel Disciples International Church

Came home and made home made jalapeƱo poppers!  Wowza, those were hot!!

Went down to the Creek to cool off at the end of such a hot day!
