    The Tummy Trilogy
    by Calvin Trillin

    I like the way this guy thinks about eating. He writes, “On the road, it became rarer for me to contemplate the possibility that, in my desperation, I might be forced to sidle over to the clerk at the motel, as if I were going to make some innocent inquiry about checkout time, grab him by his necktie, pull him over the counter, and say, in a voice that signified I meant business, Not the place you took your parents on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. The place you went the night you came home after thirteen months in Korea.”

Fresh Salsa

A picture of better days. Ah summer with salsa made from Michigan ingredients and my two hands.

« Tortilla Chips »

DateOct 20, 2011 Comment1 Comment

Here’s an easy way to make tortilla chips or tostada shells. I don’t like to fry because I find the whole ordeal disheartening to clean up. 

So, buy your favorite fresh corn tortillas. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. You may rub the tortillas w/ oil, salt or other spices but it is not necessary. If you want chips, cut the tortillas into your desired matching shapes. If you want tostadas, then leave them whole. A typical cookie sheet will hold six tortillas. Place the tortillas on the cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the oven. Cook for 12 minutes. Rotate the pan and flip over the tortillas. Cook for 10 more minutes. Done!

I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. The one about Breakfast had me smiling because I think I have a similar thought process when I go out and have breakfast, let's not even think about brunch!
