The corn that should be going into the tortillas is being turned into ethanol which is used to contaminate our gasoline. This is raising the price of basic food for many people around the world. The environmentalists, in league with farmers and politicians, refuse to lower their gaze and absorb the reality of the human cost to another one of their Utopian schemes.

You might try getting a butternut squash, slicing it from top to bottom into two halves, and place them flat side down onto a pan brushed with oil. Bake them at 350 for 20-30 minutes, or until a fork will go through them easily. Once they cool, just scoop a serving of flesh into a plastic bag and freeze it until you need it. My Mom used to freeze them in ice cube trays, for baby food.
Thanks. This sounds like it will work. Buckwheat and Teddy love you!
I agree with everything you say, but I still wonder “why now” and why just the tortillas. We had tacos for dinner tonight, and the shells were made of corn. Why are the flat, uncooked corn tortillas the outlier?
Aw, glad I could help!
In the frozen vegetable section of the grocery store there is frozen squash which is similar to pumpkin.
Due to dietary needs, I make dog snacks for my dogs using whole wheat flour, rolled oats and baby food. Would there be any baby food you could add, like the sweet potatoes but without the syrup
