Mexican custom dictates that a woman is not ready to marry until she can properly make tortillas. We watched as Berta demonstrated how it was done. She took the dough and began folding it back and forth in her hands to flatten it, the she transferred it to a table top and began to spin it in circles with one hand while slapping it with the other. Next she took the flattened mass in her hands and gently dropped it onto the grill to cook. She made it look easy. We each had a chance to make a tortilla under the watchful eyes of Berta</span></p> 2009-03-13T23:38:58-07:00 811598112 0 0 280981 390421 0 172450 0.0 2009-02-09T19:30:00-08:00 0.0 2009-03-13T23:38:58-07:00 93482 0
