As chief photographer and video editor, I was tasked with the exciting goal of filming the process of cooking our Uyghur meal. Teammates Billie and Zach built our tandoor oven over the course of several hours this past Thursday (Props to them for some crazy hard work). Billie was also able to capture much of the process which I am currently editing together for a portion of our final project.<br \/>\nWith the Tandoor complete, our essential structure for cooking the meal out of the way, we began preparing our dishes early afternoon on Saturday.\u00a0For nearly seven hours our group toiled\u00a0over our eternally smoking (and as Zach found out, highly-flammable) homemade, oven. Our aim was to cook the entire meal using traditional means\u00a0and in my humble opinion we were most successful.<br \/>\nInterestingly enough, our cooking session coincided with\u00a0a reading assignment concerning the Uyghur people and the Xinjiang region. As it should happen, our three dishes matched up\u00a0with three of the \u201clocal specialties,\u201d mentioned in the book, <em>Xinjiang, the Land and the People.<\/em> If anything, it was good to know we were on the right track.<br \/>\nSeven hours later we sat down to nang bread, chicken kebabs, pilaf and tea. I was hardly able to take a few pictures of our display before Zach tucked into the heavenly spread. This commenced the consumption of absorbent amounts of food. Worth the wait, the singed arm-hair, and a shirt that will eternally smell like the inside of an earthen oven. 100 percent.<br \/>\nBelow you will find some photos-a teaser-preceding the unveiling of the main event.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1012 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/silkroad.guilford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/kebab-1-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"kebab\" width=\"300\" height=\"166\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1014 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/silkroad.guilford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Zachtandoor-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"zach\/tandoor\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming to you today from the journey of Team Tongue is a brief recap of our most recent escapades.
