15 May 2009 - Making Homemade...
A Life in the Day of... Being Suzy Homemaker.
I had forgotten how much I enjoy making things myself, instead of buying them. Yesterday, I remembered!
I had some pinto beans soaking with the intention of making my delicious Mexican Bean Soup... and I got to thinking, "mmm... I'd like some homemade refried beans and homemade flour tortillas."
I had made enough beans for a BIG pot of soup, so I took some of those beans and fried them in a pan. Then, I set out to make the flour tortillas.
I was out of shortening. " OK," I thought. "I'll use vegetable oil." I was out of that, too. Hmmm.... I was also out of stick butter... so, I decided to try using margerine, which was the only thing I had left that I could try.
Although I felt a bit frustrated about not finding all the ingredients I needed, the tortillas actually turned out well. The Kids & I enjoyed them with the refried beans. Mmmm-mmmm!
Needless to say, I ran to the grocery store this afternoon. 
Now-- I think I'll make some homemade baby wipes!
