BASHA village, China, Guizhou, Southwest China, Guizhou province, minorities, handicraft, embroidery, tribes, BASHA style miao Basha (芭沙) is een dorp aan de zuidelijke grens van de provincie Guizhou. De daar wonende Miao stam bestaat uit ongeveer tweeduizend mensen. Ze zijn de enige gewone burgers van de Volksrepubliek China die een vuurwapen in bezit mogen hebben. De Chinese overheid respecteert hiermee de eeuwenoude traditie van deze stam. De lokale Miao hechten nog veel waarde aan hun oude tradities; ze wonen in houten huizen en houden een traditionele haardracht aan door middel van een sikkel. Een andere traditie is dat er een boom wordt gepland bij een geboorte. Het hout van deze boom wordt later gebruikt voor het maken van de eigen doodskist. De verering van bomen speelt een belangrijke rol in het religieuze leven van deze Miao. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmong Lying on the southern border Guizhou, Basha village is famed for being China 's last tribe of gunmen. This primitive miao village is hidden away in a forest and filled with stilted wooden houses by the river. Basha village is home to over 1,000 residents living in more than 400 households. Their ancestors were frontline troops who charged through forests and fought the bears there -- all to guard the land where they lived. Through hundreds of years, they have been guarding their homeland. Still today the men in Basha preserve their musketeer heritage, which makes Basha the only tribe that can legally carry real guns in China. A strong sense of precaution inherited from their ancestors keeps this village isolated from the outside world. The villagers lead a self-sufficient life in the hilly areas and retain the dressing and living customs hundreds of years ago. Young boys have to take part in a shaving ceremony between the ages of seven and fifteen. The tribe leader wets a sickle with the water used to boil eggs, and shaves off all of the boy's hair except for the central part, which is coiled into a bun. The blade caresses the scalp, and patches of hair fall to the ground. This shave is done without any shaving cream, or even a rinse. Boys get their first haircuts as a rite of passage, and then are given a hunting rifle at the age of 15 as a sign that they've become adults. www.chinatourguide.com/guizhou/Basha_village.html Slideshow: www.flickr.com/photos/rietje/show/

aka I cook mexican type dishes atleast 3 times a week. Have you noticed that?! I'm sorry that I'm not branching out lately with the recipes, but I just love me some mexican food. I first spotted this recipe on ...yep, you guessed it, Pinterest. I feel like with all that I'm pinning these days, I should try and tackle atleast one new recipe per week {in a dream world}. This one I pinned a long time ago and have wanted to make it ever since, so I'm glad it's now "crossed off the list". Do you ever crave dinners that are on the lighter side? I know I do and these egg rolls are perfect for that. You can add a side of rice if you have a husband like mine who needs more food. These aren't your typical egg rolls..they are so flavorful, spicy, and also vegetarian. You could add some chicken in if you wanted, but they are good without it. My husband dominated them and that makes me very happy! I even had some extras to bring for my lunch the next day and they were just as good as the night prior...whoop, whoop. I kept saying how much I want to make them for the next party we go to..they would be a big hit I'd bet. Now, I just gotta remember that. ...and I'll make a mental note to not share anything mexican for atleast 2 weeks ;) Baked Southwestern Egg Rolls Source: Annie's Eats Ingredients: 2 cups frozen corn, thawed 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 (10 oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles, drained 4 green onions, chopped 1 tsp. ground cumin ½ tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. salt ½ tsp. pepper ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 24 total) Directions: In a large bowl, combine everything but the egg roll wrappers. Mix well to blend. Lay an egg roll wrapper out on a work surface so that one of the corners is pointing toward you and place ¼ cup of the filling in the center. Fold the tip closest to you up over the filling, roll a bit, then take the points pointing outward and fold them in toward the center. Continue rolling into an egg roll shape until a small part of the remaining point is still free. Dip a finger in water or beaten egg and lightly brush on the edges of the free corner. Finish rolling and press to seal closed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sealed egg rolls on the baking sheet seam side down and spray the tops of the egg rolls with cooking spray. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown, turning halfway through baking. Serve warm with salsa. ...Bon Appetit! As you all know from my post yesterday, we went to the pumpkin patch this weekend. I also had some time to spice up our house and add some pretty fall decor. I didn't get much pictured, but thought I'd share anyway. I'm on the hunt for a cute fall table runner so the pincone vase will look more complete. Just pretend it's there, will ya? These are iPhone pics so excuse the poor quality. A post would not be a post today without asking who watched Most Eligible Dallas with these two last night? I got completely hooked on this show when I was home sick the other week. They were having a marathon that day so I watched all the episodes back to back. At first, I was on the fence about if I liked Courtney or not, but now I've decided I pretty much love her. She tells it like it is and is always saying something witty. I want one of everything she wears and can't help but stalk watch her relationship with Matt. They are so cute together, but why aren't they together now?! So disappointing! Courtney has a "what I'm wearing" website now that gives the breakdown of where her outfits are from. How did they know that's just what I need? Makes it so much easier for me to become poor. Le sigh. What did you think of the big weekend they had together?! Ooh, and her lace top on WWHL... I MUST FIND IT. Happy Tuesday!

Indian fry bread is a soft and fluffy flatbread that you can serve as a savory or sweet treat. Top it with jam, cinnamon sugar, honey, or savory taco toppings. This recipe has instructions to make the fry bread with or without yeast. Both versions come out equally delicious but if you want to freeze the dough, choose to make the version with yeast.
