    Hi! I don't have a recipe for tortillas, but my dad used to make them a lot. I think you need a tortilla press. Or maybe that's only if you're making corn tortillas. Yes, you can freeze them. They keep well frozen, and are quick and easy to defrost. When short of bread, my family has used...

    Dooley- Living like a pioneer!

    :th :th :th Yesterday, I realized my cat was having difficulty breathing (wheezing and snorting mucus everywhere!), so we took him to the emergency room amid the freezing rain. He's got a URI. Now that he's out of the cold it's improved quite a bit, and we've got some medicine for him now...
