Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hi Melinda. I'm Jeanne, alias JC who lives in B.C. Canada. I really have enjoyed so much being in here. I know you will too. Your husband sounds like mine Pat. He doesn't like brown rice either tho he knows it is healthier for him. He just doesn't like all that chewing. So now I will have to buy white rice. What I will do is put the brown rice in soups or the Spanish rice that I make. Then I know he'll eat it then. I have made whole wheat tortillas and didn't use shortening but used either vegetable oil or olive oil. Here is the recipe if you like. 1-1/2 Cups of whole wheat flour 1/2 cup of white flour. Just enough water to make a nice dough, 1 tablespoon of oil (vege or olive) 1/2 tsp of salt. Let this sit for at least 2 hours or at least over night then make it into small round dough and flatten them into a tortilla (as thin as you want them) Put them in a hot frying pan and brown only to your liking and then enjoy. And this is healthy and not too hard to make at all and it is really good. Not fattening either. I like it here too P_T I found it very interesting and fun. Well take care everyone. Keep smiling now. Even when you don't feel like it. JC ===== When Thomas A. Edison's desk was opened years after his death, this card was found among his papers: " When down in the mouth, remember Jonah.

Mine won't. But he's British and thought the epitome of good nutrition/fine dining was a meal consisting of baked beans and french fries (chips to him), he's come a long way in what he will eat since we've been married. A long long ways. It's an awful nuisance to make two batches of soup/casseroles, etc. But I'll be darned if I'll eat white rice, so I separate stuff before I mix rice into it. >I have made whole wheat tortillas and didn't use >shortening but used either vegetable oil or olive oil. > Here is the recipe if you like. > >1-1/2 Cups of whole wheat flour >1/2 cup of white flour. >Just enough water to make a nice dough, >1 tablespoon of oil (vege or olive) >1/2 tsp of salt. > >Let this sit for at least 2 hours or at least over >night then make it into small round dough and flatten >them into a tortilla (as thin as you want them) Put >them in a hot frying pan and brown only to your liking >and then enjoy. > >And this is healthy and not too hard to make at all >and it is really good.
