Emmy loves to help roll out tortillas. Our clothes washer is to her left, and the stove is immediately to her right. (unfortunately, this is my only workspace, or I'd put her and her sisters to work and make tortillas a lot faster!)
This is another common sight, at most of the nicer restaurants the cooks wear full chef garb.


More of Emma making tortillas in our wok. It has also been used to make pancakes, spaghetti sauce, pizza, and an imitation fettucini alfredo :)

This guy is on my way to the market. He makes rice noodles and the guy next to him boils them. All morning long... It's pretty neat, and their place is always packed. People eat the noodles covered in MSG and red pepper.

This is an interesting oven method at a local hotel restaurant, and we've seen it in several homes as well. There is a cinder box that she pulls out, stocks with sticks, and lights. Then she shoves it back in (feeding in more kindling as needed) to heat the tile oven inside. Because the ovens in the private homes are smaller, the cinder box is actually inside. There is a tiled platform in the middle of the kitchen, and on top is the oven with the cinder box at the bottom.
