Masa Flour

Austin bought a five pound bag of masa flour. He pulls it out and presents it like a trophy.

Austin: The whole bag was a buck-fifty.

Me, more than a little skeptical.

Austin: X told me how easy it is to make tortillas. So I'm going to make tortillas.

Me: We just went to *Mexican restaurant. You have six tortillas in the fridge right now.

Austin: I want fresh tortillas.

Me: I'm sure they were fresh the day we went to X restaurant.

Austin: But it's my day off. I can do what I want with it.

Me: You're eating the tortillas that are in the fridge before you make any more.

A few days later, after the tortillas were eaten and Austin had made three tortillas, using approximately one cup of masa.

Austin: I don't think I should have bought a five pound bag. I'm never going to make enough tortillas to use it all.
