did you buy the ones from the fridge cases, or off the aisle shelves?

I get the fridge ones, keep in the bag they came in plus another ziplock oever that - they last for months.

I have had the same problem and decided to start removing them from the package before I refrigerate them, flour them ever so lightly with flour hands and put them back in the package. Works like a charm. I have them around for two to three weeks and are fine. It only takes a couple of minutes. Cheers!

I've seen various methods suggested for separating tortillas that glom together and some (to my experience) are better than others. However, I just found the most effective way yet.

Take your unopened package(s) of tortillas and place in the sunlight. Depending on ambient conditions, the number of tortillas in the package, and whether the tortillas are frozen or not, the tortillas will be ready to separate in a half-hour or so. The tortillas should feel warm before you try to separate them.

I leave packages of one dozen tortillas in the sun for about 15 minutes, then turn over the package and let it soak up the sun for another 15 minutes. It seems that this methods warms the tortillas more gently and evenly than the microwave's defrost setting. They end up very easy to separate; with almost no cling at all. The result is tortillas that separate very cleanly and easily.

My guess is that humans would be dead within 6 months. On a lighter subject, here's what I had for dinner. For folks that hate pot roast, I offer my apologies in advance.

Food of the Gods man! The best thing about meatloaf is that everybody makes it differently. I suppose that's also the worst thing about meatloaf.

Looks good. I made pot roast last night, too, and my husband ate his with
rice. I sopped up the gravy with bread.

Note the nice dollop of sticky rice, a very pretty addition.

Looks very tasty with that dark brown gravy but I don't think it
needed rice or bread with those potatoes.... I'd smash the spuds to
sop up gravy.

The next time I make pot roast, I'll make some bread. That's a good idea.

SFW?

I'd gladly shovel that down WITH rice.
