Tortilla love
Sep. 15th, 2005 08:25 pmWe had beef fajitas for dinner tonight, a great way to use some of the sweet pepper and onion bounty from the garden. But the star of the show were the fresh corn tortillas. When I bought them at noon from Mi Pueblo, they were still warm. I scarfed two of them while heating up soup for lunch. Heaven!
The only problem is that even their smallest package is huge -- 54 tortillas, 3 lbs worth. We've eaten ten of them so far leaving, uh, 44. We can eat a few more tomorrow, I can bake a few for crackery treats. But what then? Mind you, I feel we've already gotten our $1.29 worth just in today's eating, so it's not about the money, just the waste of good food. And I can always compost them, which usually makes me feel better about food going bad, but I'd still be sad about these.
So I'll probably give away packs of them to friends and neighbors tomorrow. Anyone in the area, give me a holler.
Mmm, my hands still smell like corn tortillas,even after washing. Sublime.
