Firsts
I've had two "firsts" this week.
1) "Powered" razor (read: vibrating razor). In addition to smooshing about 15 blades onto a razor, Gillette now makes vibrating "powered" razors. I think in theory having the blade vibrate makes the hairs stand up more and gets a closer shave. Other than it feeling kinda funky, no meaningful difference in shave closenss has been observed.
2) Homemade tortillas! Following Karen's example, I tried making homemade tortillas on the weekend. They were a fair bit of work (like 1hr all in maybe), but pretty delicious! Some recipes called for shortening, others used water+milk, which I opted for. They were a bit less fluffy/airy than I like, but might have been because I used 1/3 whole wheat flour...think I'll try entirely all purpose next time.

I'm a HUGE fan of the 'whole wheat tortilla' recipe on 'allrecipes.com'... it works better than the white ones i've tried! it uses shortening...
