When you are making the corn tortillas use boiling water and let it sit until you can handle it. It will come out like fresh corn masa. When you are making flour tortillas do not use baking powder or baking soda or yeast just use the flour the lard the salt and the water let it sit 10-20 minutes to half an hour. Use hot water that it almost Burns you. The resting before you start rolling them out is the key to a good tortilla.

You don't need a tortilla press. I've made TONS of tortillas using a heavy book (phone book or something like that). You can wrap it in foil if you wanna make sure it's extra clean. So you just take a plastic bag (freezer bag thickness) and cut it open so that there is only one side connected still. Place the little ball of dough between the two pieces of plastic and then put the heavy book on top and press down hard. There you have it, a tortilla press and no extra kit. I've made thousands of tortillas this way. Not cuz I don't have a press, I do, I just lose it a lot.

She said that in her time they didn't have fancy things like that. I think they did, she just prefers to do it the way her mom taught her. Sorry for the long comment. I just get so excited when I see your videos.

I wish I had taken it more seriously when I was her age.

It is amazing what you can store under your sofa, bed, etc. I help myself to the boxes the stores cut down or box lids from reams of paper and put canned goods in them and slide them under the sofa. It is just tall enough for 1 can. Under the bed is another great place to put things. One of my closets has the drywall removed on one side, we put 2X4 between the studs to hold additional canned goods. The closet itself is just storage no clothes.

I used to grow my own spices and herbs then dry them out and store in glass jars. Saved me so much money. In fact, my brother-in-law owned a restaurant and used to buy most of his spices and herbs from me each season, since I had so much of it. I had two acres filled with gardens of veggies, herbs, spices, fruits and other stuff. Like you, I hardly went to the grocery store for months. I also had three freezers filled with beef, pork and chicken from local farmers. I so miss it now that it's only me to cook for.

I've been on Azure Standard website and they have a lot of items I can use. My problem is that they don't deliver to my area in NY. As far as tortillas go, I roll mine out with my rolling pin as thin as I can get it. The key is after you shape them into balls, you have to rest the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the fridge so the masa flour can absorb the liquid before you roll them out just like a pie crust but only smaller and thinner. But it is better to have a tortilla press which makes it a lot easier.

I also have a 1/3 acre vegetable garden.and a 1/4 acre of all kinds of berries and fruit. I am very impressed with your knowledge being so young. Good for you! Just like you we also make almost all products from scratch, mustard, vinegars, barbecue sauce and all salad dressings are the easiest.

I live and work in the farming community...the farming practice you are describing is not a common practice. I'm not saying it never happens, but I have only heard of this happening on sunflowers (the ones for oil and bird seed). Even then it rarely happens, and this is why...a farmer can't make a profit if they do that. Also, that would only shorten the time by a few days if that. That is an expensive way to shave a few day off until harvest. Lastly, the only reason I can think why a farmer might do this is because of crop damage concerns. There is crop insurance...it makes more sense to collect a crop insurance check than to add another expense. Honestly, there isn't a lot of margin in farming...you have to be thrifty and use your noggin' to make a go at it. Maybe it is happening, I'm just not seeing it.

@@alysiaadams3729 All information I have is from reading about large agricultural practices. I don't have any first hand knowledge b/c I don't know any cotton, wheat or corn farmers personally.

New subscriber here what do you do to keep weevils out of your flour and things thanks for sharing your haul!

Thank you. Just stumbled across your channel and attempted to buy on Azure. They are not located near me so shipping would be too costly.

Home depot five gallon buckets are food grade and they sell the food grade screw top lids. Buckets: $5.00 Screw top gamma Lids: $4.00-8.00 Don't know if this helps, just wanted to throw that out there.

You really need to price compare some of these items - they are double the price at Azure! Mustard seed is usually so much less than you paid.

@@AcreHomestead Celestial Seasoning is our favorite tea, I know you are on a budget, have you emailed companies to ask for coupons? I saw a youtube video on how it is done and with just a few min a day I've been very successful.

I just noticed that when you show the price per pound you show the price then bl instead of lb, not sure if it is a typo... nice video so far

Not to be tmi but I’m Super surprised you don’t use a cup instead of tampons. The cup totally changed everything for me it’s so good

That Stash tea is so good!! I just ran out and need to get more. Question: do you have a lot of fridge space for storing fresh produce? I wish I could shop less often but my quandary is: what about fresh produce and it staying fresh? Also, that is such a great point about insurances and how having “food insurance” is so important!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I have an extra fridge in my pantry. If you watch the pantry tour video you can see it. It was my 30s birthday present :) You know you are old when you want a fridge for a birthday present
