From Emily of Wander-Lush Injera Ethiopia The act of preparing lavash is so integral to Armenian culture, it was inscribed as an element of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014. Here, women make and sell massive sheets of lavash on a daily basis. This is exactly how I ate it when I visited a traditional lavash baker on the outskirts of Yerevan and saw the whole process for myself.Īnother place to try traditional Armenian lavash bread is at the GUM Market, the capital’s main produce market. The best way to eat lavash is piping hot straight from the oven with a simple dressing of soft cow’s cheese and fresh herbs. Lavash is ubiquitous throughout Armenia and served with almost every meal. The paper-thin bread takes less than 60 seconds to cook through you know it’s ready when bubbles start to form on the surface. It’s then stretched over a custom-made cushion, which is in turn used to ‘slap’ the lavash onto the wall of the tonir. To make lavash, a simple dough of wheat flour and water is kneaded into a ball then rolled into a thin layer. My favourite flatbread is Armenian lavash, a soft, unleavened bread cooked in a traditional clay oven called a tonir. From Nina at LemonsandLuggage – Look Nina up on Instagram Armenian lavash Vegans will be happy to know that Lagana is almost always vegan so when all the vegan restaurants in Athens are closed on Clean Monday you can simply indulge in loaves and loaves of Lagana. Just make sure you finish your Lagana on the same day because it gets hard very quickly. But you can also eat Lagana completely plain or eat it with any type of dip you want to eat. People often eat it with olives, although I prefer to just dip it in some olive oil. Instead, you should tear off a piece with your hands. It’s important to never cut Lagana with a knife as this is supposed to bring bad luck. The sesame is the topping to this oval-shaped flatbread. And because Clean Monday is a holiday that is associated with flying kites, Lagana is a perfect bread to bring along for a picnic.Īll that’s needed to make Lagana are flour, water, yeast (which was originally not used!), sugar, salt, olive oil, and sesame seeds. On the whole, I would rather have the constant product improvements! Read More.It is customary even for people who do not fast to buy a few loaves of Lagana every year. The company could benefit from more frequent mailings about changes, but they over communicate everywhere else so it's a minor nit. Negative: The pace of change has been incredible over the last 18 months. You can begin using Ayoa almost immediately and begin activating different functions over time.Īlso, the onboarding was done at the level of packages costing thousands. I already was a big mindmap booster, and to be honest, there is more there than I will ever get to use.ĭespite all the functions, there isn't a steep learning curve. Then I realized that complex writing projects could easily be broken down using the mind mapping section. I was thrilled with that and then realized that the ability to send emails that needed follow up could be sent directly into the system. Positive: As I began using Ayoa's software throughout my day, I realized that a slight tweak could mean that my calendar could also be part of project and task planning. I would have to buy two or three programs to replace it. I can't think of another package that has its blend of functions. ![]() Summary: Software I use throughout my day. I also wish they would do the necessary work for HIPAA compliance so we could use the system exclusively for our project work. I believe they are continuing to add systems integration and I look forward to that. Negative: I would prefer it to integrate fully with G-Suite, not just Gmail. Lastly, I’m glad it doesn’t look like a calendar, spreadsheet, or email inbox! It’s like a whiteboard at your fingertips. They also do mind maps which is so great when working through big thought projects remotely. As I work with people on the autism spectrum, I also think this is an excellent platform for the neurodiverse population who may need to be very specific in their visual layout. This is an excellent product for small companies who don’t require all the bells and whistles of a larger, more expensive system. I like that it is colorful, easy to learn and navigate, and has preformatted options for people who don’t know where to start. Positive: There are multiple ways to view tasks and if a team member sets it up one way, you can change your personal view to suit your style. It’s removed a level of follow up communication that was really taking too much of our brain power on a regular basis. My team seems pleased and more organized when working on shared projects.
