We\u2019ve long been discussing the logistics of building a tandoor oven, and through fire permits, changing locations, and fluctuating prices, Billie and Zach finally got it built today! The original plan was to donate it to the Guilford Farm, but the oven would need to be under a structure to prevent rain decay, which would violate fire codes. Therefore Zach now has it stationed in his backyard.<\/span><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-710\" style=\"width: 179px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-710 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dev-the-digital-silk-road.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/FullSizeRender-2-179x300.jpg\" alt=\"fullsizerender-2\" width=\"179\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside View of Tandyr, Billie Dunn-McMartin, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n(I&#8217;ve provided a very low-quality view of the inside.

Here\u2019s the very rough shopping list we formulated (that is by no means complete):<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Kabobs<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lamb or chicken<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cumin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chili Flakes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fennel Seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Naan<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry active yeast<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sesame Seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poppy Seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Pilaf<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicken<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jasmine Rice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garlic<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Tea<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black tea<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll be providing the wok for the pilaf, Zach the tandoor oven and the hand tools, and we\u2019re all hunting for a porcelain teapot and dishware (or at least good replicas).

We thought cuisine too three-dimensional a topic to simply be read about, and it certainly lends itself to being interactive. We&#8217;re going to incorporate it as a series of videos on our map and site page.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, tonight\u2019s reading coincided with a main focal point in our project: the Uyghurs! <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first sources stated that &#8220;Uighur&#8221; is not a romanization of &#8220;Uyghur&#8221; (or vice versa) but a completely different ethnic group! I was immediately concerned, because I wasn\u2019t sure that all of us delineated between the two in our findings due to the fact that we thought them identical. However I could find no articles supporting this statement, though I did find many stating that the people themselves prefer the \u201cUyghur\u201d spelling because it is more in accordance with phonetics of their native language (\u201cUighur\u201d violates vowel harmony). Other sources went in depth to the rise of Islam in Xinjiang, evidencing why Kashgar has such a religious focus. The Karakhanids established their capital in Kashgar, and sometime later Yusuf Khass Hajib wrote \u201cWisdom of Royal Glory\u201d, which referenced the Quran and hadiths, providing stark evidence of Islam. Kashgar became a Muslim religious center but was eventually taken over by the Manchus, though Yakub Beg later established an independent khanate to return Muslims to power. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I realize that was a fairly brief update on the multi-faceted beast of this course, but I hope it suffices! Many more insights to come.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a wonderful night!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regards,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Delaney<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buenas Noches readers, I hope your day\u2019s been swell!
