Not so flat flatbread

My son Christopher and I were watching Aarti Sequeira on Food Network (TiVo'd) and she was making some awesome beef Vindaloo with chapatis (whole wheat flatbread).

I started some bread dough around 8 this morning, and just for fun I rolled some out--very flat--with a little olive oil and salt.  Then baked the flats at 475 F. I started each on a pizza pan, then slid them right onto the rack when they started to puff up.  A few of them puffed up so much they turned into pillows. I then flipped them over on the middle rack in the oven for about 8 minutes. 

They came out great--just ask Alice.  I also made some Kheema without the peas because we didn't have any. Alice and the kids stuffed it inside the bread and went to town.

Here are a few shots with my phone while I was baking:

Long exposure Long exposure shot from the back deck. So this is our backyard with a beautiful night sky (just before the storm). Shot this with the Nikon D3100 and the Nikkor 18-200 lens. Used my tripod with the timer so I wouldn't be around when the shutter opened. (The light was on in the garage. That's why it's so bright along the ground and the playhouse).

Early morning photography I got up around 4:30 and the sky was so clear after Irene passing through that I had to get out my camera and tripod to shoot it. I was wandering around in the backyard and the dogs didn't even get up--too early for them apparently. Here's one of the constellation Orion, around 4:45 AM, f3.5 at 30 seconds (the starlight is just starting to shift at 30 secs). Camera: Nikon D3100, Nikkor 18-200 lens. Facing east--those are PSNH's transmission lines up the hill from us.
