Lots of #kitchen stuff to do today, which is probably fine as the snow should show up soon.

Given various kitchen projects that need attention today, I might be spewing domestic tips all day, so mute me now if you'd rather be spared. lol

A first tip only for Canadians who are paying for the Mastodon Platinum service - the plastic in our milk bags is the best source I've found for making tortillas!
Most tortilla-making techniques involve some plastic between the jaws of your tortilla press. If you don't have one, you can press your dough ball between sheets of heavier, food-grade plastic, and roll it thinner.
A heavy large Ziploc bag works too, but why waste one when the milk bag plastic is free.

I don't think here in Italy we have milk in bags (followers can confirm), but thanks anyway for remembering me I've to buy the milk when I'll drive back home
-
@GustavinoBevilacqua I think maybe Australia is the only other place that does it, but I'm not sure.

@ottaross I think milk bags are an Ontario thing? I've never lived in Ontario, but it's definitely not a Saskatchewan or BC thing. (I would totally try that tortilla technique if I had a milk bag, though!)

Milk bag background article answers some questions.
Apparently not so common in western canada nor Newfoundland, but everywhere else.
Started in 1969, but was about 1983 when it fully saturated Ontario. Only one retailler had not succumbed to the baggy wave by then.

@GustavinoBevilacqua @ottaross I guess the bags used for apple juice (rarer, but more common in my “we're not teetotalers, we just forget that alcohol exists” household :D ) or cheap wine could also work? -
@valhalla I suppose the wine-in-a-box thing is essentially in a bag, only the box gives it a bit of structure.

@ottaross @GustavinoBevilacqua the one with apple juice is exactly that -
@GustavinoBevilacqua @ottaross Germany also doesn't do milk bags but some brands of yogurt come in bags.
