Week 4 Recipe: Flour tortillas (Texas-style)
Recipe here
Not being Texan, I’m not sure if these came out right. It does say they should be thick and chewy… but mine are really thick and chewy. Possibly they weren’t rolled flat enough. Possibly this is because I don’t have a rolling pin, or even a bottle of wine, and was using the flour jar, which is large and bulky. They taste okay, though!
Please note I cooked something with more than three ingredients, but just barely.
Week 4 Book: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
I’m reading these books for cultural awareness. They are dreadful. Anyone thinking I am a secret Twihard, keep in mind that I am never ashamed to admit that I like terrible things. For example: I like Chasing Liberty, the Mandy Moore remake of Roman Holiday. I liked She’s the Man, the Amanda Bynes modernization of Twelfth Night. I like the music of Kelly Clarkson. I genuinely and unironically enjoy these things. The best I can say for the Twilight books, on the other hand, is that they are sometimes amusingly bad.

I, too, like bad things, but I do not know that I could read New Moon. I read Twilight, as you know, to be able to justifiably argue with everyone who was saying “Oh the book is so much better than the movie!” that the book is, in fact, not significantly better than the movie (and only better in the sense that Kristin Stewart is not present when you read the book). The best thing I could say about it was that it made realize that as much as I was a nerd in high school, chances are I had more friends than Stephanie Meyer.
