A Day at the End of the Road
![]() We decided to not only celebrate feeling better, but Cinco de Mayo also I decorated the kitchen with a few God's Eyes, probably not a Cinco de Mayo craft, but the only Mexican craft I know. Here is a great tutorial I'll tuck our decos away for Christmas when I get tired of looking at them... I had so many novelty yarns that it was fun using fun furs, mohairs, cottons ,nubby yearns etc.. I bought some el cheapo colorful margeritta glasses the other day and made mock Sangreia Flour Tortillas 1/2 c. lukewarm water Put in order in the bread machine and hit dough cycle. Let knead really well until it is a nice ball. Take out and cover with a bow to let rest for at least 20 minutes. Repeat process if you would like more tortillas. (I usually make a couple of doughs.) When you are ready to roll out, cut each ball of dough into 8 balls. Roll out each ball into a round circle. Cook immediately over a hot, dry skillet (I prefer black iron for this), or put in between wax paper to cook one at a time later on. Keep well covered so they won't dry out. You cook each one about 1 minute on each side until they are lightly brown. They are delicious hot with some butter!
I also slice these into quarters and deep fry them for tortilla chips I served it with homemade salsa... I think the actual name is Picco de Gayo...I could be wrong... Fresh Salsa 1 1/2 C cubed fresh tomato 2T minced jalepeno pepper 1/4c sliced scallion 1/4 cup lime juice 1/4 cup chopped cilantro mix and marinate for 3 hours or more.. and lastly Fajitas 1 1/2 lbs beef flank steak 1 onion 1 green pepper 1 red pepper 2 cloves minced garlic 1t chili powder 1 8oz can chopped tomatoes ( I used garlic and olive oil) salt to taste I dump all of it in a crockpot and slow cook for about 6 hours and then serve with shredded cheese on the warm tortillas. ...so we had a wonderful evening of stuffing our faces with goods food and enjoying each others company... I hope you all do the same... and have a fine day... all day long!
