We have discovered a little shop in the city which sells freshly made small corn tortillas, they’re amazing in comparison to the prepacked things you can get at the supermarket

During Bunyan we can get a small batch ground I think. If not, we can get fresh ground. See, I have these freinds….

I can tell you more Saturday around 7:30ish in the PM. We are good to go and the Fishes are up for it as well.

No gosa pizza for us! WOO HOO!!!

Xai Xai, Mei Mei and see you then!

Fresh tortillas are amazing. Did your tortillas “puff”? I’ve taken a lot of Mexican cooking classes including a week long one in Oaxaca with Susan Trilling. In Mexican cooking lore it’s said that a tortilla is ready when it puffs because then you know someone loves you! I’ve also given up on metal ones. The one to get is a homemade one that they sell here in SF that’s made of light pine or some such wood. Let me know if you want to buy one!

Yes, we will see you at seven thirty on Saturday!

And if we can get some corn ground–well, that will be excellent. I have the corn, and the cal–all I need is someone with a stone grinder to grind it. Maybe your friend could do some for us and we can have fresh tortillas–and tamales!

Welcome, Jeanne! Yes, my tortillas puff up! I forgot to talk about that. But I am going to do a Diana Kennedy recipe that requires the puffing up business so you can stuff the tortilla with a filling–so I will talk about it then.

I adore Mexican food, too. Zak doesn’t love it as much as I do–his first love is still Chinese (as is mine), but Mexican food gets to me. I love all the ways they cook chiles and all the sauces. Lovely.
