even when you are clean from showering, you are still covered in delicious skin, refreshing moisture, and things that thrive in the presence of both.

if you ever feel so inclined, all you need to make your own tortillas at home is:
masa flour aka specially treated corn flour
a stovetop and a pan for cooking
a plastic food storage bag
something with a flat bottom, ideally transparent
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.
communist because u want a commune = communist
communist because u want tanks and gulag = tankie
Why the hell should i do that?
Read any chapter of history, particularly in the last several hundred years, and you’ll find no end of answers to this question.
someone who’s into communism less for the equality and more for the dictatorship
this makes me wonder how much longer a towel could be used if it were promptly dried after use, rather than put up on a hook where some of it dries sorta and the rest of it clumps.
