Best Care Package EVER In the History of the World

Look what just came in the mail!!!!:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Yes kids, that is indeed a bag of MASA!  Do you remember my tale of woe, and how there are no proper tortillas in Cape Town and no Masa Mix with which to make them?  And how the only way I could make masa from scratch involved vats of lime and a grinding stone?

Well thank the heavens above for mothers!  My mom went and spent I don't even want to tell you how much to send me two bags of Masa Mix!!!!

I admit I cried when I opened the package.  It was so sweet and generous of her and felt like a whole big box of love being sent across the ocean!  I now have 8.8 pounds (4 kilos) of masa!!!

And I can finally delve into this part of my Savadoran cookbook, a true testament of the Salvadoran love of corn and masa:

So, MIL MILLONES DE GRACIAS MAMITA, NO SABE CUANTO SE LO AGRADESCO!!!!  I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
