What exactly a "tortilla" anyway...?

The essay Tortillas by Jose' Antonio Burciaga is a very interesting essay. I love how the author states that his "family claims" that he "owes" his career as an artist" due to his early experiments with tortillas." I chuckled out loud when I read that he used to wear tortillas as a yarmulke and that he never had any great urge to convert from Catholicism to Judaism. Jose' states very historical facts about the Mexican traditional tortillas. 
I laugh because I feel as though he is sarcastic in some of his statements because of the "shrine" of Jesus Christ in the tortilla. I enjoyed reading about the traditional tortilla.

I Want a Wife...

I love how this essay is written by a "wife" and a "mother". The way the author has described a "wife" is what everyone's dream "person" should be. I say "person" because the author do no indicate that a wife is a "she". You do not have to be a female to be a "wife." I really enjoy the out look and statements that the author had to share about wanting a wife.
