Tortilla Flats Questions
Can You Write a SCARY Paragraph or 2 or More With These Phrases From "Tortilla Flat"? Again, I find my self throwing down the gauntlet with phrases randomly picked from a book by my desk. These all come from "Tortilla Flat", by John Steinbeck. 1. Monterey sits on the slope of a hill, with a blue bay below it and with a forest of tall dark pines trees at its back. 2. Let Pilon come by a jug of wine or a piece of meat and Danny was sure to drop in to visit. 3. You mean the little silk pockets on a string? 4. But at last the inactivity tired them. 5. Where Danny went, a magnificent madness followed. Thanks! And best of luck!
Does anyone have a genuine recipe for the Espinaca con queso dip sold at Tortilla Flat, Merrimack NH? It is similar to a cheese fondue style dish, but does not tend to set back into a lump of cheese when cold, and can be reheated to restore its dipping qualities. There is no artichoke, I have not detected any significant garlic and the cheese is probably a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar, certainly no 'stringiness' associated with mozzarella. The spiciness is almost certainly jalapeno, and varies by visit, but never *too* spicy for my wife who is a spicy-wuss!! My concern is maintaining the texture of the dip after cooling and reheating. I have been making cheese fondues for many years so I'm guessing it's the fluid base that leads to the correct texture but I don't want to waste a lot of ingredients experimenting.

Help making fluffy tortillas? My grandmother made the best tortillas. They came out fluffy and white with big brown spots. When I try to make them they come out flat with no spots. I mix self rising flour, water, and Crisco. I roll out the tortillas and put them on a skillit at about medium temperature. Any tips on what I should be doing? Will it help if the skillit is hotter or lower? Does it matter the length of time I need the dough or let it set? Thanks for any advice.
Great round flat bread, what was it? I had lunch with a friend from the middle east years ago and she made this fantastic round flat bread, almost like tortillas, but it was flavored like it had garlic in it.

Great American Book? I need to find a book that is considered "great American literature" for school. We get to choose, and it's getting to the end of the school year; I'd prefer to read something that is 350 pages or less. I've already read: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Great Gatsby, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tortilla Flat, The Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, The Lovely Bones and On The Beach. It also needs to be at a 11-12 grade level. Any suggestions? :) Thanks for the help!
Waterfront restaurant suggestion for wedding in Orange County, CA? I need some suggestions for restaurants in Orange County (could be Long Beach too) to have my ceremony & reception but it can't be off the charts expensive. I'm trying to keep it around $4000 - $5000 for 50 guests. It is pretty important for it to be ocean front or lake view. Definitely want water. I've looked at Tortilla Flats and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I liked Cannon's Seafood but someone has already booked my date. Any suggestions? I really want a place that can do both the ceremony and reception so that my guests don't have to drive to a second location. Any ideas would help. Type of cuisine is not necessarily the most important thing. Thanks!

Recipe for Czech buckwheat pancakes? I was just in the Czech Republic at a Renaissance festival. They made "Pohankove Placky" at one booth--a buckwheat dough rolled out flat then cut into circles like tortillas and cooked on a grill, then topped with garlic spread and leeks. They were fabulous. Any ideas on a recipe? They seemed to be unleavened and we were told they had rosemary in the dough. Slightly thicker than a tortilla, not crispy. I have no other clues about ingredients! Thanks.

How can I shape my dough to be perfectly round using a rolling pin? I'm trying to make perfectly (or close to perfect ;) ) round flat-breads, pastries and the like (i.e. pizzas, rotis, tortillas etc.). I've tried to shape the dough to be round by rolling over it gently and tried every way that I could think of...maybe I'm doing it wrong because it always comes out weird. I no longer want weird shaped flat breads! : ) I want perfection! : ) Some people can do it so effortlessly! I too want that gift! : ) I know I can easily buy a machine to get nice flat round dough, but I want to know any tips or tricks that can help me lead to perfection when it comes to rounding out the dough with a rolling pin. Also, if there are how-to websites or videos online, please let me know. Although, I really want to hear from people who can shape their doughs to be nice & round *using a rolling pin* who can give me some advice. Thanks a bunch! : )

DON'T USE ONLINE TRANSLATOR...pleasee :] thankyou ( this is a eassssy way to get 10 points) here are the sentences: The common food in Costa Rica is coffee, beans, corn, squash, eggs, rice, meat, and tropical fruits.

Can anyone tell me how I can make tortillas on a glass top electric stove& actually look ant taste good? I got a new stove about 6 months ago and have not been able to put a comal on it to cook some good old tortillias. Mgf says iron will stain the top of stove. I bought a cheap electric griddle and it sucked. The torts were not the right color or taste, they weren't even plyable for a burrito. I purchased a aluminum comal and it could not tolerate the high heat and it is not flat anymore so the torts do not cook evenly' Someone out there has had to have invented somethin that I am not aware of. PLEASE HELP!!
Crispy Tacos South of the Border? I've been told (by Native Mexicans) that the fried folded tortilla taco shell cannot be found in any Mexican cuisine south of the border. I still have to find this hard to believe for a country that is large as Mexico, and, since American cooking is almost always an introduction by some type of immigrant. Note that I'm asking about the folded-type shell - not the flat tostada - which I know is served in Mexico. Thank you Frany, Of course, you probably know that many Mexicans don't consider the border towns real Mexico (like that makes a lot of sense either). I hope we get some more comments
Do you get offended? When you go to a Mexican Restaurant and the menu has dinner plates written in spanish? Should they assimilate and translate them to english? What's the translation of "Tortilla", is it flat flour thingy? Oh Mimilundgren - you should stop breathing because illegals breathe so then air supports illegals. You should stop drinking water because water supports illegals, you should stop doing anything that illegals do, i'll visit your grave. BTW It you thought I was serious, well i'm not, i love mexican food and I don't care if it's in english or spanish, i speak both, learned spanish in school.

Does anyone know how to make homemade enchilada sauce using the dry red chiles you find in supermarkets? I had a friend whose family would frequently make "flat" enchiladas and homemade sauce. They were so good. Before then, I was only used to rolled enchiladas. This sauce was bright red and liquidy-smooth. What they do is place a flat soft corn tortilla, then a layer of refried beans and pour sauce, then another layer and so on and so on....like a stack of pancakes. I think they were from Chihuahua, Mexico. Does anyone know how to make that? Help me make my own. Thank you so much!
