yum, yum, yum...

food in our house is a rare comodity. we get our fruit & vegies delivered each week from freshline organics (can't recommend then enough). we don't eat a massive amount of meat but i attempt to buy organic, otherwise its from the local butcher & i buy it up in bulk & freeze it. then there's the pantry staples of flour, sugar etc which i used to get from a fabulous store in como called loose produce. you can take your own containers & fill them up right there and then, no packaging & no time wasted when you get home having to refill your containers, they also have a great organic range.
coz i walk to work each day, i don't get to do a mid week shop of all that other 'stuff' like jar, tin or packaged foods (coz its bloody heavy to carry) this is kind of good coz it means i generally have to make them from scratch. that means no preservatives or additives & i know exactly what i'm putting in my mouth. so when i had a craving for some TORTILLAS the other night...i had to make them from scratch...but its sooo easy & they tasted so good. crazy mumma who's 'towards sustainabilty' blog i read daily has another blog with simple recipes for these kind of things. i followed this recipe http://simple-living-simple-cooking.blogspot.com/2007/09/flour-tortillas.html and it turned out great. those few more seconds preparing make all the difference but she does say you can freeze them for when you don't have extra time.
i reckon this is the perfect weekend snack and lo and behold, here comes the weekend...yay!
