Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Wow, four pages this time. It's in the oven. Made the ugliest tortillas I've ever seen. Think someone dropped my press. Could not press anything less than 1/4", so I hand rolled after the press. Crazy recipe... Ended up with enough meat to do another batch, enough olives and chili's to do another batch, and made a double batch of sauce and it barely covered. Only thing that came in a can were the olives and chili's. I thought about using canned jalapenos, but some of the folks around here can't handle heat.

An entire day on ugly tortillas! You can’t have nothing! I hope they at least taste heavenly.

Never could make tortillas that were any good except as Frisbees. Had to buy a bread machine to make bread. Do they make a tortilla machine? I'd buy it!

Yes they taste great, just not even close to round.

It's really easy, with the right stuff and a working press. Trick is hot water added to the masa and salt, and the masa needs to be fresh. I generally prefer to grind my own, that way I know its fresh but DIL bought a 5 lbs bag and I thought it best to use it up.

BTW, I'm not going to let DW meet you folks... She loves all attire that is chicken related. GD has chicken tights and chicken dress and lots more.

Then you must get her a chicken shirt! (You know the one I mean)

BTW, hot not boiling water... I started the kettle today and came back to catch up and it came to a boil. Hand mixing with boiling water is NOT fun.

I got a slow motion video of my chickens rolling in dust and it is the best thing so far today!

I also have to say my Spanish rice is not visually appealing but tastes much better than what you normally get. I got a little heavy handed on the cumin, which turned it almost black rather than pink.

Make smaller oblongs 1/4 inch thick and you can make Chalupas!

BTW, GD is sporting her Halloween costume. A pumpkin face mask and an elf hat. She picked it so it must be right.
