[...] with cold roast beef and millet, is just one that we enjoyed last weekend. On it I included the feta cheese that had been stored in olive oil. The cheese was okay. It definitely wasn’t salty enough, so I had to salt the pieces again [...]

[...] did get back to the corn tortilla dough I mentioned on Tuesday. I’m grateful because the tortillas turned out so awesome! Several things helped me roll them [...]

Sonya – Whew! Thank you! Now I know I’m not crazy! The corn flour helped a bit. I ended up rolling them out to a smaller size with a smaller bit of dough, so I could handle them better. They tasted awesome and we really enjoyed them. I am going to write a blog post about it soon. Some masa flours (you’d have to contact the company) soak in lime for 24 hours, which is better than not soaking at all.

Hi, Wardeh:

I haven’t tried soaking corn in pickling lime yet, but I regularly use organic masa flour (which I’m guessing is the commercially available product similar to the flour you end up with after the picking process) to make corn tortillas. The recipe I use is on the bag: 2 cups masa flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/4 cups warm water. The dough is kind of moist, and I can see how rolling it out would be difficult. I’ve always had to use a tortilla press (one that cooks the tortillas as it presses them) for that job. How did it work to use the corn flour for rolling them out?

I love reading your “twister” posts. You’ve reminded me that I need to make broth from the big bag of bones I have in the freezer from our recent grass-fed beef order.
