OK OK....
Wow, today this really nice lady patient of mine came in with her homemade tortillas, chicken in salsa with onions, and lettuce and tomato salad with
her homemade chipotle dressing. Ok, the Chicken was good, but had an underlying flavor of bacon fat ...my mom used bacon fat for everything way back
when ...but it didn´t go especially well with the chicken in salsa...the dressing was excellent, and the tortillas...well the tortillas were
fabulous..soft...with a phenomenal flavor!!! I know now where to get my tortillas..better than ANY I have tasted in Mexico...oh yeah..there ARE alot
of Bimbos on both sides of the border thank you!!!

I've yet to see the Pillsbury tubes of bakery and pastery items here. Maybe, someday, Bimbo will buy out Pillsbury and our cultures will continue to
mingle. |
BIMBO is now in the US. Lots of commercials on TV. |

A while back there were a lot of "bread makers" being maketed. I never
bought one so I do not know first hand if they were agod item or just a
fad. I seem to remember that you plugged it in mixed in the flour etc and it
would kind of knead the dough/ let it rise and 40 mins or so later make a loaf of whatever type of bread you had prepared. Seemed like a crock pot
type answer to baking bread. Anybody ever use one? were they any good
at making bread?

I don't have one, yet, but I've never seen one work that didn't impress me. I think they're more popular than ever.

You are absolutely right, they do not work to make some real bread......
A nice Vollkornbrot needs a bit different machinery or some strong kneading hands.
Karl
BTW there is a place in Pacoima (LA) called Lenchitas and they have some really good hand made mais tortillas. A cup of coffee and a few of those
before breakfast, will keep your cholesterol level up.....

Actually tortillas de maize are on of -the- best staples around for cholesterol and blood sugar. Tortillas de harina de trigo are exactly the
opposite.

Speaking of Mexican Tortillas ...........
Actually, Tortilla Chips, the BEST I ever had were N.O.B. in Indio.
Ariola's. First tried them around 40 years ago and often would drive (as late as mid-90s) the 100 miles R.T. just to buy a giant bag. Fresh, Hot and
Greasy.
AND, I just found from a search that they're still there. Same location.

HOT of course), Toasted Rye Bread, Sourdough (which I don't care for much), or BISCUITS!!!!
I miss biscuits, the tall, light and fluffy kind. I went to Las Parrillas the new place in Chapultepec, near El Faro Beach, when they first opened
up, and they had some really nice tall ones, and fluffy. I went back a few weeks ago, and they served me one with about 50% of the middle taken out,
sort of like two 1 1/2" wide, 1/3 inch deep...
I went to Cafe Orleans a few months ago. Jerry the owner is a very nice guy..but I had to call his attention to the biscuits which were hard as a
rock...he said I need to ask for fresh ones each time I come, because the Mexican chef doesn't think its important to make them fresh each day....The
Wolf Restaurant in Maneadero serves pretty good garlic bread with its meal...my friend Will and I always order the garlic bread with our meals.
OK, well coming home from a long shift at the clinic this morning, I wanted to stop at Las Parrillas, but remembering the latest biscuit fiasco, I
went home, heated up my oven, and got out the Bisquick mix...quick and easy AND delicious...with some Smart and Final Darigold butter...closest to the
States butter that you can find...of course...Colonel Sanders has some mean biscuits... I drive by there in the afternoons if I have the
inclination...but they don't serve butter with their biscuits or honey...only jam...not bad however. |

BYOB-Bring your own biscuit!
My wife is always saying she likes the corn tortilla's. That the tortilla's maiz are much healthier. My response is what do you feed a cow or a pig
before you butcher.....you fatten em' with corn. Maybe the corn tortilla's are part of the reason that Mexico is overweight.

Mexicans suck up so much sugar they can't help but "blow up". Watch what a Mexican housewife purchases in a supermercardo. It's a long way from what
indigenous genes learned to live with over the millinea. PS: I have as of last Friday lost 71 lbs, since 5 March.

Could be. Lots of carbs in the diet.
It's also a reason why they exist at all. Beans and corn together make up the nine essential Amino Acids that the body can't manufacture and with
out them, our bodies wouldn't grow.
We, our culture, depends more on animal protein to supply these ingredients, but meat has not always been available, or popular to the indigenous
people here and other places.

Very Very Cool. A life without Lard does have it's rewards. Little flavor, but lots of rewards.
Congratulations on your accomplishment.

Donuts. Where are the donuts in Mexico? Almost as good as a old fashion buttermilk biscuit with Boysenberry preserves.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
