a good tortilla is a meal maker. (this blog post is about the kind made w/ flour) the typical off the shelf supermarket tortillas reek of preservatives, a deal breaker. leonas de chimayo is a uniquely delicious tortilla typically found frozen because duh bueno foods makes this product...

it's a bitch growing tomatoes @ these parts. sure it's summer time, the days are long and sunny and warm. but the nights get chilly and routinely dip into the 40's. tomatoes no likey. this brandywine is the first large-ish tomato i've had success with in my greenhouse. it's a heirloom variety. and it's what summer's all about. fresh bread. mayo. salt or seasoned salt...w/msg. delicious!
