Thursday #294 - For our Richard

[RICHARD]

I have a wonderful fire in the fireplace here at home, the cat is arse end toward the hearth and I would love a sip and bite of everything you all have made today.


Would anyone be interested in a homemade tortilla with real butter on it.

I made a batch today and the masa/dough was really great. THe best batch yet.

Let me roll out a few and let's sit down and hang out for a while!

And I just orderred a salad and pizza.

ETA: When we where kids visiting dad at Granny Mo's house, we called her that because my brother and I couldnt pronounce our last name when we where real little, GM came out from whatever she was doing in the kitchen and pointed at each of us in turn saying, "einy meany miny" then pointed to herself and said "Mo". She then went back to whatever she was doing in the kitchen.

How heartwarming is all of this? All of us are telling stories about our parents or grandparents. This is great!

Richard, I hope you are coping - you are such a faker - you try to hide behind that sense of humor and have all of us laughing. That's why we love you.

I have an Uncle story. I loved this Uncle Hal. I didn't get to see him often but when I did it was clear that he loved me. So fearlessly I would climb on his lap and ask him to "click" his teeth. He had false teeth that just fascinated me - I was just a wee one then.

He is also the one that taught me "I scream.....you scream......we all scream for ice cream. That meant ice cream was in my near future.

A homemade tortilla - you betcha - can I add some salt on top of the melted butter?

[zippy-kat]

Salt? How about a little bit of sugar and a lotta bit of cinnamon!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Salt?

How about a little bit of sugar and a lotta bit of cinnamon!

Uhhhh ... Isn't there supposed to be some "stuff" in there, too?
Like maybe:

* A Meat
* A Cheese
* A Salad
* Beans
* SOMEthing ??

But I could be wrong.

[zippy-kat]

Nope. Butter, sugar, cinnamon inside a folded and browned-just-right tortilla makes a YUMMY dessert.

[RICHARD]

Phred,

Tortillas are like bread to us!

You can take a flour tortilla, deep fry it and while it's still hot take some cinnamon and sugar to it!

Or you take them hot off the griddle and you can stuff it with beans, rice and meat too!

IT's Mexican white bread!

Gini,

I am a faker.
