I did it

Ana and I started with my lesson about 8:30am. She went through all the ingredients and I took notes. Not much on measuring. Kinda like how my grandmother cooked. A pinch of this, a handful of that. My mother once wrote me out a recipe for French pancakes - crepes. First she had a half cup of milk, then an additional couple tablespoons farther down on the sheet and the same with flour. She never measured, just kept adding whatever it needed. I am a very detailed person. Thin is just too vague for me.
Back to tortillas. You make the dough and take some and roll it into a ball. Put it on plastic and flatten it in a circular motion to the size and thickness you want. Peel it off the plastic and put it in the hot frypan with very little oil and brown it on both sides and enjoy. I brought a mashed avocado and they had a sour cream type topping. It was all very good.
I have proof although I can't post it here. Gerardo used my iPad and made a video of the whole process. Here are a couple still shots. As some of you know, River Song starts today in Hutchinson so I am wearing my River Song tee shirt.
Not bad for my first try.
First side browning.
Finished product.
This one I did beginning to end.

You really are learning it, living it, and loving it. You are one amazing Tico lady. If we were still next door I bet you would have run over with a sample of your tortillas.....WITH a side of Mounds bars.
Here's hoping something works out with the classes. You could definitely teach quilting. We'll be waiting for an update.
Re: Kit Kat Beach cake - R looked it up on Google and there it is, so I just may make it for the Kids (a little involved for me but nothing like learning something new.)
