Sun, my dream meal is always First Nations Day Dinner--y'all would recognize that as Thanksgiving--and of course I need to have Gryph with me. Other people are optional, lol... and since it is my dream meal, there WILL BE enough stuffing cooked in the bird to last until all the leftovers are gone.

............might have to give away a couple of extra cooked turkeys to get that much cooked-in-the-bird stuffing, lol.....

So glad you are here my friend.

We have so many fabulous people here, I thought, where is our sparkly fairy from down under?

Fish Taco, very simple, requires however, fresh corn tortillias. I am crazy about them.

Hello hon! It's great to be back.

I am pleased to report that I can do the fresh corn tortillas, from scratch! I got myself some Masa Lista (Not sure, but think in Australia it's called something different to what you call it in the States), plus a tortilla press.

I find them a little bit challenging though, I guess I'm used to working with doughs that have some kind of gluten formation happening.

Spice

5Tbs smoked paprika

1/4 c kosher salt

1/4 c garlic granules

2Tbs fresh ground pepper

2Tbs onion powder

3Tbs cayenne pepper

1tsp ground cinnamon

2Tbs dried oregano

2Tbs dried thyme

1Tbs ground fennel seeds

1Tbs ground rosemary

1Tbs dried sage

Blend herbs in a coffee grinder (or something comparable) mix with remaining ingredients. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months.....

PS... I added a tsp of cumin when we made this last...I like the flavor it adds.... good stuff...think gifts in a jar for the bbq lover in your life...

Well no wonder why you love this! Smoked Paprika! Perfect. I am going to make this.

If you all love Smoked Paprika as much as I do, or need to do mail order, or try it for the first time check out:

Im especially partial to Hungarian paprika....I find it nearly has a sweetness to it....I considered making the spice with it....but yes my employer gets smoked paprika in a big ol container since he uses so much of it....he said he gets his on amazon...dunno if it's comparably priced....

Hello sweets! You're here too! It's like old times again <3
Think I'll have to stick around for a bit.

Are we thinking dream meals? Mine would have to be seafood, just about any kind will do. Yum!

Oh my goodness Ursy, corn tortillas? I'm impressed... I bought a bag of masa weeks ago and still haven't gotten the courage to try them!

They are kind of fun - do you have a tortilla squisher? That is the funnest part!

[Bit]

*big sad eyes* no.... no tortilla squishers here... maybe I should put one on my wish list?

Lol Yes, I think you'll have to.

[Bit]

Can they go into the skillet right outta the squisher, Urs? And do they cook hot, or medium? Does it take long for each one?

Yep! Into the skillet straight out of the squisher. Many line the squisher with a freezer bag that they have cut the sides out of, and this helps a lot with the sticking.

I think from memory, they cook hot, and it doesn't take long at all for each one, maybe 30 seconds each side?

Gryph says a squisher is in my future. Thank you for telling me the technique!

Mine looks like this:

Reading the reviews for this listing also gives you valuable information. One of the biggest limitations is that it doesn't make very big tortillas.

You can also make them yourself out of wood, there's lots of info on the internets (that was the squisher, not the tortilla. Whoever heard of a wooden tortilla?)

Why what happened?

What did you use if not a squisher?

That is my favorite part as well. Well besides the part where someone else does the cooking and gives me a break..but anyway, I love love love stuffing that is cooked in the turkey. And there is never enough.

Thinking that I may have to cook some Turkey after all..even though I am not going anywhere for Thanksgiving and no one will be here.

Oh well, more for me.

How do you do your stuffing?

*hangs head... makin' me admit this public* Well... I made tortillas that were... wooden. Hard dry and tasteless, even. *sheepish look*

I used a rolling pin. I wanted to pat them out like the really accomplished tortilla makers do *yanno, says on the package, "hand-stretched, the old-fashioned way"* but I'm just not that coordinated so I rolled them out like pita bread or noodle dough. Got pretty good at it, but my wrists gave out last year so I had to stop.
