There’s no better feeling than setting foot inside your home, sweet home after a long day. Beware, the king (or the queen) of the house is back! Imagine: there’s one lucky family that runs a whole kingdom of houses with a teeny-tiny nuance. The Brinks family owns 6 houses, each one only 160 square feet in size, that look as if Dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids had shrunk their home instead.

According to Bible Lands and Cities, a typical meal in Galilee would consist of lentil soup and flatbread (usually barley bread). With this they might have had fresh fruits in season (grapes, melon, cantaloupe, figs, apricots, pomegranates, and olives) or dried fruit (dried apricots, figs, and pomegranates). They also might have cheese made from goats milk, and curdled milk (similar to yogurt) sweetened with honey. Meat was rarely eaten except on special occasions. The most common meat was probably dried fish. Other meats eaten included goat, lamb, chicken, geese, duck, pigeon, and quail. Beef was only eaten by the elite. Here are some recipes you can use when recreating a Galilean meal: Lentil Soup with Flatbread (You will need to multiply this for a large group) 7 ounces red lentils 15g (1 tablespoon) rice 1 flat bread 1 tbsp cumin 2 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, sliced Salt Rinse the lentils and rice and put them in a saucepan. Cover lentils with water. Add salt and cumin. Bring to a boil and cook 1 hour. Fry or grill the sliced onions until blackened. Scatter the onions on the soup and serve immediately. Flatbread can be used with the soup in two ways: 1. Serve with soup for dipping, either toaster or untoasted. 2. Cut into bite sized pieces and toast, then sprinkle on soup right before serving. From a recipe found at www.gods-cookbook.com, a website which no longer exists. But I believe the recipe was a sample from the book God's Cook Book: Tracing the Culinary Traditions of the Levant*. *(The link is an amazon link through which I can earn commission, which is donated to a charity of my choice.) Rice was first introduced in Isreal by the Persions, and by the Roman period was a common food and major export. Barley Flatbread This recipe makes 8 loaves. If participants are helping you make this bread, you can also get some barley seed or wheat kernels and have them grind it into flour between two rocks (or a flat rock and a stone rolling pin, which was somewhat like women in Galilee did). I suggest having them grind a small amount and add that to pre-ground store bought barley and wheat flour, since grinding enough to make an entire loaf could be time consuming. 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup barley flour 1 cup wholewheat flour (or other whole grain) 1/2 teaspoon salt Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir the yogurt until it is smooth, then stir in baking soda. The yogurt will froth. Combine salt, barly flour, and wholewheat flour (or alternative) in a large mixing bowl. Stir in yogurt yeast/water mixture. Knead for 10 minutes by hand. Cover the bowl with saran wrap or wet towel and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours in a warm place. It should doubled in size. Remove the dough from bowl and kneed on a breadboard. Divide into into 8 small balls. Flatten each ball into a 6″ circle. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Have cloth ready for pressing the dough and wrapping the finsihed loaves (something you won’t mind getting oil on). Coat a frypan with oil or cooking spray (olive oil would have been used in Galilee, but other oils work just as well). Place dough in the pan (how ever many will fit without touching…and a little room between). Press each circle of dough with the folded cloth to squeeze out air bubbles and prevent air pockets from forming. Cook 1.5 minutes, flip, and cook another minute more. When the bread is cooked the edges of the bread will look moist. Remove from pan and wrap in cloth to keep warm. From a recipe found here. (Recipe modified to add 1st century details). PRINTABLE: This coloring page from Bible Printables features women making flatbread. In rural villages like Nazareth, women would often wake up 3 hours before dawn to grind grain.

Chatham has worked with Pittsburgh Cohousing to create the EcoVillage, the first neighborhood of its kind in the region. Based on a practice that began in Denmark and has grown in the United States since around 1990, the concept is a close-knit community built on cooperation, sustainability, and contributing to the ecology and academic work of the surrounding campus.
The Silk Road, or Silk Route is a modern term referring to a historical network of interlinking trade routes accross the Afro-Eurasian landmass connecting East, South and Western Asia with the Mediterranean and European world, as well as parts of North and East Africa on about 4,000 miles (6,500 km). It gets its name from the lucrative Chinese silk trade along it, which began during the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the civilizations of China, India, Persia, Europe and Arabia. Though silk was certainly the major trade item from China, many other goods were traded, and various technologies, religions and philosophies, as well as the bubonic plague (the « Black Death ») also traveled along the Silk Routes. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com
