Henna and Onions

This woman had teary eyes from chopping mounds of onions for somsas (meat filled pastries). Our concern grew when we spied her reddish hands. The tinted rings on her fingers are due to henna, not blood. ..Taken in Kashgar, China..© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Suoman Gush Siz

Suoman gush siz is one of the only phrases of Uighur we learned (we're afraid to admit) while in Kashgar, China. It's this delicious dish of vegetables, peppers and homemade laghman noodles.
