Istra Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 My brother & his wife are moving today, and I volunteered to cook for them. (Istra: loves cooking! Hates moving! CHOSE WISELY!)They were over last night, and apparently the crew had jumped in number, and they were talking about getting a pizza too. Slightly miffed, I told them I would just cook more. :3 (Me: YAAAY!)I made tacos for everybody (I live in Western Oregon. Everybody loves tacos.), but didn't have enough tortillas for 10 people. "No biggie. I will MAKE MY OWN! HAHAHA! (<- never done that before)ZOMC, ROLLING OUT TORTILLAS IS HAAAAAARD!!!!!!! @_@ About 3 tortillas in I was like "... Ow. Ow. Ow. I gotta tell the NF gang about this. This is ridiculous!"I ended up making about 16 tortillas and got a 20 minute arm workout. XD I never did get them flat enough ... they kept puffing up! Next time, NO BAKING POWDER! (You LIED to me, recipe!) Quote Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Funny. I used to make my own bread, and I always thought kneading it was a good workout.

So Late So Soon Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 haha, that's awesome. I've never made my own tortillas, even though I love cooking mexican food, it's kinda strange now that i think about it.

Istra Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It was fun! I've never been good with bread. For some reason, YEAST REFUSES TO WORK FOR ME. =_= I also discovered that apparently I don't get hungry if I spend tons of time cooking. Quote Link to comment

Hermione Gainser Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ha! When I clicked this thread I thought it said "kitten workout" and I thought, "Amazing!" But I love this! I had never thought to make my own tortillas. Very cool.

Rooks Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Mmm.... tacos. I know when every Valentine's Day I do up a big 4 or 5 course meal for the wife, and I get sweaty running around trying to maintain all the recipes at once. I know cooking can be a workout! Quote Link to comment
nickls Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I also discovered that apparently I don't get hungry if I spend tons of time cooking.Not sure if this was why for you, but when I am frantically doing stuff, I don't get hungry either. On Saturday I was hosting a party and I was trying to do like ten things at once from making cocktails to finishing the food and greeting guests, and I never really got hungry despite hardly eating anything. Shaking up cocktails can also give you a bit of exercise, which is perfect since I like drinking them. Quote Link to comment
