Nathan loved the tortillas; however, I thought that they were just a bit better than store-bought-- perhaps not enough to entice me to go through the mixing and rolling and grilling again. Next time I will try the refridgerated uncooked tortillas from the store and see how they stack up against my homemade.
I really don't enjoy cooking, but I love to experiment with baking. Cooking is a chore (how ungrateful I am when there are so many around the world who would LOVE to have a pantry full of good food to cook-- forgive me!) Baking on the other hand, is a relaxing way to make the house feel homey and cozy. It makes me nostalgic and my mind wanders to what it must've been like a long time ago, simpler times where a chocolate cake put everything to rights! Maybe that's why I love to have a chocolate cake on the counter :)
Anyway, try this recipe for sopapillas-- 15 minutes to ooey, gooey, sweet cinnamon satisfaction!
