Yes, you are correct… I am not that skilled.
I recently picked up a heavy metal rolling pin (Goodwill). It helps in making the dough thin, but not nearly as thin as hers. Forgot to mention, I also add a little cheese to my lentils and veggies (filling)… not much, though.
250 g AP flour
50 grams lard (I used butter this time though and it’s delicious)
5 g salt
100 g starter (100% hydration)
100 g kefir/buttermilk (can use warm water, but I had some kefir that I wanted to use)
Mix melted lard or butter with salt, starter, and water, and add to flour.
Knead until smooth and supple, around 5 minutes.
Rest for 20-30 minutes.
Divide according to size you prefer. For 10-12 inch tortillas I used 73-75 grams of dough, which gives me 7 tortillas.
Roll out on a floured surface to desired diameter and thinness.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium high heat (I like cast iron but had the nonstick handy and used that) and cook a tortilla for maybe 20 seconds, flip, cook another 20 seconds, then flip again and cook until light spots appear, then flip once more. This is just to keep the tortilla from cooking too hard since I make them to store and warm up later. If you prefer you can cook them so they’re toastier.
Persian tomato soup with lentils and rice. Ground beef and potato kofta. Chopped salad. A quick yogurt-based naan.
For dessert, there will be shortbread with apricot jam and almonds.
We buy the regular non-mint shortbread ones. Very addicting. An open box is the equivalent of an open bag of potato chips.
Chicken Marsala over linguine. Not a great pic but it tasted great, so I’ll take it.
Not as much gravy as I hoped, and I added more liquid than usual. A thickening slurry did not help.
There was crusty bread. There was a martini.
One of my favorite chicken dishes! Always a pleaser!
Slow-roasted salmon, snow pea salad with ginger and sesame dressing, rice. I used the rest of the dressing over the salmon.
Oven-Roasted Portabella Mushrooms filled with a quick hummus (chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, sumac, thyme) and additional chickpeas. Served on a bed of baby arugula with an olive oil-balsamico vinaigrette and some oven-roasted green beans
Thai takeout from a food truck market down the road from our resort. We had hoped to find the huli huli chicken truck to still be open, but it and most others were closed by the time we got here – just after 7pm. People sure eat on the earlier side on the island 
We grabbed an order of som tam and pork laab to go, as it was clear the lady was ready to close up shop, too. When asked about our preferred heat level, I chose ‘spicy’ over ‘medium spicy.’ Bad move 
Thank goodness for the generous amount of rice and cabbage (Thailand’s equivalent of raita, I suppose, in lieu of any cooling dairy condiments) that came with close to a pound of scrumptious, lardy laab, and an equally fiery papaya salad. I ate more rice than I usually do and was pounding the Sapporo. Hope it won’t burn us a new one as we have plans to hit the beach early tomorrow morning.
Lesson learned? 
That soup looks (and sounds) lovely, do you have a recipe you might share?
Thank you
I would gladly wolf down everything on both those plates. They look fantastic.
That salmon looks luscious!
Thank you!
The soup is from the Washington Post.

Since I had my hot meal at lunch yesterday I had a light dinner. I had spicy genoa salami and a panzanella.
I also visited the New Eastern Farmers Market in York on Friday on my way up. Thank you for the recommendation - I got a mini apple crumb pie, some “yellow” sweet potatoes, and scrapple for spouse who loves the stuff. Great place.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great, thank you! I am adding these to my plan for next week!
Much appreciated!
Order a milkshake on the side or bring one with you to soothe the heat.
