shoutout to the nopalito cookbook which promises quick, unfussy, mexican inspired meals for dinner and then promptly begins to explain how to nixtamalize your corn. respect.

@nsfmc I can imagine someone diving into this, they even get past the 8-16 hour soaking stage, and then they hit the part where they need to get out their...corn grinder?

@jeremyosborn to be clear i’m absolutely sympathetic to the author/book, but ya know, it’s a real hilarious move which i’m sure is not daunting once you do it or if, you know, your restaurant’s daily prep work involves this

@nsfmc you know what's even less fussy than nixtamalizando my own maiz? comprando tortillas de la tortilleria

@nsfmc spoken as someone who has tried twice now and ends up with a delicious but chunky masa cake instead of tortillas
