Is there a joke I'm missing here? I do this fairly often.

Alright, you win.

I have a bag of numb & spicy hotpot flavour waiting for me at home. Also have a bag of takoyaki flavour.

I discovered frozen butterfingers this year... Game changer

i case you haven't tried it, ghee butter is the best oil for this in my opinion

Roasted and salted pistachios is basically crack. It's not possible to stop once you open that first shell

if you ever feel so inclined, all you need to make your own tortillas at home is:

1. masa flour aka specially treated corn flour

2. a stovetop and a pan for cooking

3. a plastic food storage bag

4. something with a flat bottom, ideally transparent

5. water

the bag of flour typically has instructions for how much flour and water to mix. you can mix it by hand and form it into balls by hand. the size of the balls only matters if you care about the tortillas being "the right size".

From there, you press a ball flat, toss it on an already hot pan over medium heat, flip it after a couple of minutes, and remove it after a minute more. to press the ball flat, place it under your flat-bottomed transparent thing and mash on it until it looks tortilla-shaped enough for you.

the plastic food storage bag is optional/recommended to stop the tortilla balls sticking when you press them. cut the food storage bag open along its seams and remove its zipper if it has one. what you have left is a single sheet of plastic with a seam/hinge in the middle.

it might be sounding like a lot but it's really just:

• mix flour into wet balls

• mash flour in your "press" made of random flat dishes and a plastic bag

• cook the thing a little

• eat

if you iterate on those 4 steps a dozen times, you'll be out like 50 cents of flour and you'll have produced at least one satisfactory tortilla. and it'll be so, so much better than store bought, you'll think about it every time you have store bought tortillas therafter.

I used to make these all the time. I prefer to keep the leaves big. Also you really REALLY need to dry off the kale, as any amount of moisture causes it to steam instead.

I like to do oil, honey, salt, pepper, and a bit of cayenne

I add hot pepper powder to the peanut butter

Those look great! Where do you get yours? They're on Amazon but they're expensive and I'm tired of supporting Bezos.
