Del is right. And so very wrong.

That's been the story of my life, Mike.
Anymore, I love to sizzle a corn or flour tortilla in a skillet like the man suggests.

I'm thinking about starting a thread on how reheat a slice a pizza. I'm pretty sure you guys have been doing it wrong.

I'm so grateful we are still willing to talk about things that matter around here.

Great video.

Sin cebolla - words to live by.

Corn bread on the stove from a cast iron skillet isn't too bad either.

About 45 years ago, a guy named Jason Taco was left alone with his three kids while his wife went away for a week on a business trip. One night, after a long day doing construction work, Jason was scrambling around in the frig trying to find something to feed the kids for supper. He saw some leftover chicken from a rotisserie they had bought a couple days before and some extra ground beef that had been cooked for sloppy joes. Being overly exhausted Jason heated the chicken and ground beef up, then some some veggies that his wife had cut up because she liked to dip them in hummus and he knew she would check to make sure the kids had eaten some vegetables. Lastly, he threw on some cheese because, well, who doesn't like cheese, then slapped it all on a tortilla because that was the only bread in the house. Bingo-bango...the Jason was born. Later, the name was changed to "Taco" simply due to how many Jasons there are in the world.

Well.... that heavy stove-top skillet's gotta keep busy.

'Cause there's sure-as-hell no way we're gonna wash that thing and put it in some cabinet.

Don't forget about the cheese.
