Thanks, everybody. I'm looking for the things called taquitos we used to buy
in Tijuana way back when; I'll just try to get ahold of my aunt in the next
few days and have her ask her neighbor Chucho, whose taquitos and tamales
are from that region and fabulous, and meanwhile I'll wing it tonight.

Meanwhile I seem to have lost the knack for making corn tortillas and he
only Mexican restaurant in town won't sell me any. Tacos it is, tonight!
