Tortillas and Other Lovely Things.

I ate a delicious Latin American meal tonight. It was really quite lovely. A friend of mine from Honduras (and some of his friends) made a traditional Latin dinner and invited some people over to enjoy it. The food was "muy delicioso." There was a special chicken recipe that his mother had e-mailed him, fried rice with corn, beans, tomatoes, and of course wonderful homeade tortillas.
I really would like to learn how to make homeade tortillas. Another Latin who was there assured me that it was really easy. I think I will try it sometime. Then I can make my burritos even better!
Even though the food was delicious, I would have to say that the crowning event of the meal was the orchatas! They were pretty much amazing. If you have never had an orchata (a sweet rice drink) then you are missing out. Get in your car (or on your bike or just walk) and go to the nearest Mexican restaurant and order an orchata. They are truly an amazing thing. Just do it.
