3 STOVES

Once again I'm back in Taos at the Pueblo, which dates back to the 8 & 9th centuries. Inhabitants live the ancient-way, that is with no electricity, running water, phones or indoor plumbing - all everyday conveniences taken for granted. The Native American Indians also cook in hornos, which are outdoor adobe stoves fueled with fire. The bread dough is placed in the hornos once the fire has been extinguished upon reaching the correct temperature. Typically the women are out baking and selling the bread when tourists are visiting the Pueblo. The smell is incredible and the taste is uncomparable!
There is something to be said for the simplistic way of life. I believe each day tends to become more focalized, with a greater importance placed on traditions, family and values.
A taste of yesterday.
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog! Your work is gorgeous and I love the beautiful writing that goes along with it.
New Mexico is pretty addictive, isn't it? I moved here from North Carolina over 20 years ago and I still sometimes feel like a visitor. I never really get tired of it.
So nice to meet you!
Gayle
Thanks for your kind words Gayle. New Mexico is such a different place. The picture on your site of the Bosque stopped me in my tracks. My son and his family live very close to it, plus had enjoyed visiting it when we lived there.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings sure capture the flavor of the culture.
Hope we talk again later!
