~Hiding The Tortillas~
*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps*******
Hiding the tortillas has become necessary here…..
My background is originally from the midwest (Ohio)…and then from the eighth grade through high school…I was in New Jersey…..
I’m a Northerner…..
…..but I’ve lived in Florida since 1972…..
I will never be considered a real Southerner…but I’ve been here a long time…..
…..my daughters on the other hand…..
They’re both native Floridians and Southerners through and through…and their palates reflect that…..
Tasty seafood…I understand…I mean who doesn’t like shrimp!?!…..
But both my daughters LOVE Mexican and Latin food…my older daughter has become quite the cook…..
*****(Tostones—One of My Favorites)*****
When she was a server at Olive Garden…the line cooks were either from Puerto Rico or Cuba…and she benefited from the foods they made for the staff…along with their recipes…..
*****(Good Recipe For Carnitas/Plus Good Advice On Cooking Pork In General)*****
And we all benefit from what she cooks now…..
My younger daughter’s idea of a quick breakfast is peanut butter rolled in a flour tortilla…..
My older daughter battles with her…and ultimately has to hide the tortillas and fajitas in her bedroom…so that they’re available for subsequent dinner dishes…..
*****(Birria Recipe—Really Really Good)*****
*****(Birria Recipe Variation—Also Really Really Good)*****
She’s doing a lot with yucca…having a greener thumb than me…there are pots of tropical edible plants now (and yucca) spread around the property…..
I keep my interaction with their plants to a minimum…I don’t have good luck with potted things…..
*****(Making Chicharrones)*****
My forte is making piles of good aged chicken manure for my daughters to use with their plants…..
Yep…it’s good to know your talents…mine is shoveling good aged manure (a.k.a. shoveling shit)…..
You do what you can…..
