Yay! Welcome back!

Well, I compared the ingredient lists of the two and both are made with oil vs lard and contain leavening. The times I have made my own flour tortillas I have used only flour, salt, shortening and water. They did puff up when cooking but were not near as thick. I like both types. I had been buying fresh flour tortillas from another grocery store and was looking to see which I preferred. These Kroger tortillas have basicly the same ingredient list as the other but have so much more flavor. And the store is closer, too!

Flour tortillas, made in house at my local Kroger grocery store. This new store just opened recently and this was the first time I have tried their tortillas. They were still warm when I bought them, nice and soft, and their flavor is excellent!

Sure. Ingredients: 1 cup catsup, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup sake or dry vermouth, 2 Tbs grated ginger, 2 Tbs minced garlic, 1/4 cup sugar.

Grilled Beef Rib-eye with home made Tonkatsu Sauce for dipping.

The plan was to have a grilled beef rib-eye, salad and a loaf of freshly baked no knead bread. Well, we had the bread - the whole loaf - with herbed olive oil and ended up putting the steak back in the fridge to grill tomorrow night and never even made the salad! We were pleasantly stuffed!

I had a few tablespoons of rendered duck fat, from the pan-seared duck breast we had for dinner the other night, and one lonely potato, so... ...we had duck fat roasted potatoes and onion, eggs over easy (also cooked in duck fat) and applewood smoked bacon.

I had some leftover pork, a few frozen shrimp, mushrooms, onion, frozen peas, water chestnuts... and a craving for fried rice but no rice... so I made TVP (textured vegetable protein) Pork and Shrimp 'Fried Rice'. It received a thumbs up!
