Damn, I thought I remember you saying you made tortillas. Crap.
I'm not sure they're worth the effort to make yourself.
But right now, I'm viewing Gentlemen of My Persuasion as akin to xenomorphs. Nukes, orbit, surety, etc. etc. etc.
How much do I love SH and this rearranged quote? THIIIIIIS MUCH!!!
I flove that movie, and this is one of the cleverest references to it I've ever seen.
::off to COMM::
My sister made her own tortillas for years. In her broke student days she was all about the beans and tortillas. Not too hard once you have the hang of it. Masa harina, a little oil, a little water, roll in to little balls, squish the balls flat between a couple of plates, toast on a skillet or directly on the fire, yum! I was not good at it, but I did not give it the practice she did, either.
the reappearance of the asshooks.
The Boy is finally home, and I mentioned the asshook conversation, and the queries about what, exactly, one does with an asshook, if not suspension.
He answered immediately: "You tie a rope around the sticky-out-y end, and tie the free end of the rope to the person's hair, like a hogtie." (Obviously this person has long-ish hair.)
He's so useful.
He's so useful.
He does seem like a handy sort.

He's like Tim the Tool Guy meets Dr. Horrible meets Caligula.
Tortillas take almost no time or skill to make (srsly, it's as easy as -t describes), and they're about a zillion times better than bagged ones. Which isn't to say I always do it, but it's so easy that every time I do, I end up thinking "I should just always make my own".
I used to make my own tortillas when I lived in places where I couldn't buy them. I like them homemade because they're nice and thick, but mine don't come out even vaguely round.
