Navajo taco's

Navajo fry bread is one of the staples here on da Rez. When the native women make fry bread their hands move very fast. Sister Lybbert and Sister Boyes do very well although another twenty years of making it several times a week would speed them up some.
NAVAJO TACOS
Fry Bread
1 cup Blue Bird flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
about 1/2 cup warm water
Mix flour, salt and baking powder then add enough warm water to make a soft dough. Let stand for 20 minutes. Form into 2 dough balls. Work  dough till thin and fry in oil in fry pan. Makes 2 large pieces of bread.
Place fry bread on a plate. Cover with warm chili beans. Add desired toppings. Cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, Salsa etc.

Elder Lybbert at Bashas with a 10lb. bucket of baking powder and Blue Bird flour. The blue buckets on the shelf are 10 lb. buckets of lard.

The dutch oven addiction is spreading. Monday morning the missionaries came over and cooked 'Mountainman Breakfast' in the dutch oven. It was very good and very filling.

This week Elder Lybbert needed some eye drops for dry eyes, no problem, right. Well, here on da Rez the stores don't carry it, my guess is the natives get it at the clinic. We had to travel to Walmart (they had lots of eye drops)in Gallup, N. M, two hours and ten minutes away. Got back in time to teach a lesson and visit a new contact as the one appointment we had was not at home.

As missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints we are invited into homes and have the privilege and opportunity to bear testimony that Jesus is the Christ and teach from the scriptures on a daily basis. We have met some wonderful people here.
We have noted that people from around the world read our blog. If you have any questions we would like to hear from you. Email address wayne@lybbert.net
