Had it with the Food Channel...

Chorizo with no color has to look pretty gross. I love it's vibrant color. After all, I love everything about it.

I would love to have homemade tortillas available here.

DUDE! GO to the recipe thread and I posted about making hand made flour tortillas. If I can do it, you can!


Post 390!

Try it, I am a hack and I was able to make them..keep practicing!

Thanks! I'll definitely try it. This will be the first time I've used lard since I lived in Virginia 25 years ago.

We have a grocery store here called Freshco. I'm not sure if it's a chain or not. I went in there a few days ago. They have the biggest selection of Hispanic foods and spices I've ever seen. The spice selection alone is unreal. They probably have that brand of flour. I'll take a trip down there and give it a shot.

Cut the recipe in half and practice! If they don't have La Pina, look for other brands! I think MASECA is another type.

LUCK!

OML!
Anthony Bourdain visited Mexico City and ate and ate and ate!

It made me hungry for food off of a taco wagon/truck.


Watch the episode if you can.

THAT was MEXICAN FOOD- don't forget to see the woman making hand made blue tortillas!

I wonder if she is single!

I'll try to catch it.

Richard: My latest creation: Tonight I made pancakes. I put cooked chorizo in the pancake batter. Chorizo, pancakes, maple syrup. What can I say? You have to try it. Of course I had more chorizo on the side. Delicious!!!

That's great, Elyse. I bet you were flabbergasted!! Cool!! I think alot of his shows are filmed at places that people write in about. Did they serve chicken soup on the show?

Alton Brand had a show about making corn tortillas from scratch...and I do mean scratch: flint corn to nixmatal (sp?) (lye treatment), cleaning, grinding, making the dough, and using the tortilla press! Lots of work!

YES That was it!
Nixtamal! You get and A+ for spelling!

Now you have to add to his 'recipe' elbow grease, amor (love) and a little wrist action to make the 'hand formed' tortillas, Some people use a press, like he did!

Now think of doing that every day for breakfast and dinner! Lunch is a little more informal! and is usally made from left over breakfast stuff!
