Thanks for the Crepes – I know exactly what you mean about the fried flour tortillas elevating the meal.  We used to spend Sundays at a BBQ chain restaurant called Red, Hot and Blue because we could sit at the bar, watch football, eat and smoke (Mr. Kim could even smoke a cigar – ah, the good old days).  Their BBQ nachos were special not because of the BBQ (fine, but not exceptional) or toppings (the items you’d expect), but because they used fried FLOUR tortillas instead of corn.  Just delicious.  They have since closed, but we use the flour tortillas most often nowadays.

 

Dinner last night:

Creamed corn, smothered cube steak w/ gravy, roasted sweet potatoes w/ coconut cream, Brussel sprouts and some of my white bread.  Looks good, but a fairly blah meal, except for the sweet potatoes and bread.  The cube steak never got tender, the gravy was WAY too salty and the spouts were skunky.  Sigh.

A recent lunch:

Tuna fish salad and cheese sandwich, pickles, some of my favorite olives – castelvetranos – and blizzard Funyuns (gotta have those).
