Dan's favorite food, by a long shot, is tex mex. Lots of cheese, refried beans, and cilantro rice. A few years ago we visited Austin, Texas which is famous for it's food and especially tex mex. It was there that we got hooked on fresh flour tortillas. Dan promply gave me a tortilla press for Christmas. But after many failed attempts resulting in tough, thick tortillas, we put it away for good.
But then, I found this. Like finding the first patch of green grass in the spring, I was elated with culinary possibilities and answered questions. And what, you ask, was the first recipe I tried from this food blog from heaven?
Flour tortillas!
And they were awesome. Tender and delicious. Easy to roll out (I don't even need the tortilla press) It's the milk that makes the difference. Now, we're eating tacos at least once a week.
Ta for now!

Joy's Rambley Post
Tonight turned out to be a sort of girls night out. My friend Teresa and I were lucky enough to talk my in-laws into watching Ana and Toby, and Teresa's two little ones who are roughly the same age as ours.
After we ditched the children and trotted of to a retirement community (!) where my friend Tim Drake was giving a talk on his conversion to Catholicism. What fun!
I got to know Tim before Ana was born and I was able to write much more. Ah, the good old days, when i had time to write a sentence, have fun with it, and really make it sing before calling it good. I miss that time of life, but this one is just so much better. I think when I get to being able to write again like I used to, I'll weep with nostolgia over the days I'm living now.
Anyhow, this is getting really rambley. Can you tell I'm counting the minutes until Toby wakes up for a nurse?
Well, anyway, Teresa and I had a great time, short as it was. I am learning what a small community Marshall really is. I mean, I've only lived here for three years, but I knew half the people in the room (and it was a big room!) either by sight or by name.
In other news, our main computer is in the midst of a mid-life crisis and won't work for us. So, all our pictures are in limbo, which is why I haven't posted any. You'll know when it's working again when I can put a few on here.
Wait! Here's one! But you'll have to follow this link.
Ana really needs some lambs of her own. Don't you think?
