High Protein Rotis - Duck Pond - Happenings

We received some much-needed moisture over the weekend. It filled up the duck pond. I found this little rubber duckie while metal detecting a few weeks ago. I found this and a couple of tennis balls down by the river. None of which are metal. 

The duck floated probably over 75+ miles with all the twists and turns in the river from a town that has a duck race. This little duckie got away. It is numbered on the bottom, so I know that is where it traveled from. I would say that it may not have been the fastest, but it certainly floated the furthest. I'm certain that the tennis balls were lost by dogs. People stop there and walk their dogs along the river. 

I found tools and metal cans at a park down a dirt road. It's a nice little park. It has the sturdiest of playground equipment. Fun and whimsical with bright colors for the kids along with a small horse arena and stalls. Unfortunately, it is rarely used. 

I'm still recovering, but I hope to do some baking tomorrow now that the Feast of Unleavened Bread is over. We ate the last of our Rotis made with yogurt, flour and salt. They are really good flatbreads and simple to make. Use a high protein yogurt such as Greek yogurt for a high protein bread.  

1 cup plain yogurt

1/2 Tsp salt

All-purpose flour, 3+ cups

Use enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes. Let rest 30 minutes. Divide dough into 8 balls and roll out on a flour dusted surface. Cook in a pre-heated griddle or skillet on med-high heat until bubbles form and then then flip. Flip again after it begins to bubble again. Press bubbled areas lightly with a spatula until the roti puffs up. Remove from heat and wrap in a towel until all rotis are cooked. Serve warm. 

I made roasted garlic butter and brushed it on both sides. They were soft, pliable and easy to re-heat. These make a nice snack, a great addition to any meal or use to make your favorite wrap.
