Bread

Before we left Idaho, we heard that fresh bread would be hard to find here in Haiti. Our church lovingly gave us a bread maker, we bought the necessary ingredients before we left the US, and we have enjoyed fresh, homemade bread here in Port. (Kyle, pictured left, enjoying breadmaker bread) Yum! You actually can get decent sliced bread in the stores here, but it does not last quite as long as US bread, possibly due to a lack of preservatives???
While we were in Piyon, it was just not practical to haul the bread maker and the necessary ingredients, so we left it behind. There in town we could buy bread at several "bakeries"--where they make 2 or 3 kinds of bread (not the sweet kinds) or in the local market.
We ended up always going to the same guy. If we timed it just right we could sometimes get hot bread, fresh out of the stone oven! That was our staple food in Piyon. :) It was delicious as cinnamon sugar toast in the morning for breakfast, a peanut butter, tuna or egg salad sandwich for lunch, or toasted with butter to go along with any meal for supper. (The bread is maybe difficult to see in these pictures, but it is like sub sandwich bread...maybe a little heavier, but just as soft.)
