I was thinking back to the first time I had a taco. I was a teenager in Kansas City and an elderly couple was selling them out of their apartment. You knocked on the door, came in and sat down while they made them for you. When mom learned how to make them at home, there was a wire form that held the corn tortillas in hot oil while they were cooking.
I wondered if they still made those taco shell forms. They do but they aren't shaped like the old ones. They are more open than regular shells. I got one and today when I asked Charlie if he had any ideas for supper and he said "Tacos", I used it and their shape makes them harder to eat. I'm going to use up the rest the corn tortillas as flat tostada shells. And when I have fried up the last of the corn tortillas, I'll go back to getting the store bought taco shells. Anybody want a 'taco' shell holder?
