This sounds so wonderful.  Please tell me where the solar showers are.

>I am interested in recreating the bread baked by the Egyptians during the
>time of Moses.  According to contemporary sources, the dough was baked in
>covered clay pots.  A potter friend of mine made me some pots. I recently
>received a shipment of sourdough yeast from Giza, Egypt, and I picked up
>some flour which is alleged to have been made from wheat grown from seeds
>found in King Tutenkamun's tomb.

>I plan on baking the bread at Pennsic.  If all goes well, and it is
>accepted
>by the editors, these experiments will form the basis for a future article
>in Tournaments Illuminated.

>One of the projected "baking days" is August 14.  That way, if it is
>edible,
>I can send a loaf to the Potluck Supper for everyone's critique.

>Clann O'Choda has graciously permitted my family and I to camp with them.
>Therefore, if you are interested in participating in this experiment, I
>invite you to please stop by the O'Choda encampment.  By then I should know
>a bit more about when we will be baking this type of bread.
>
>I understand O'Choda has its tradional site near the solar showers.
