Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Laurie, you're not a bozo - you're an expiramentor! I think it depends on what kind of pita you used. I often use the thicker, Middle Eastern kind, often associated with Falafel. (I'll try to find some brand names for you.) These often hold up well, although it does make a difference if you have moist veggies (ie just washed) or if you wait awhile to eat it. The other way to do it is to get traditional Mexican tortilla bread and roll those up, much like a taco. Be sure to get a thicker version of that too, tho. And, wrap it in tinfoil, slowly unwrapping as you eat. That helps it keep its shape and not dissintigrate. Hope that helps! , " Laurie B " <laitaina@h...> wrote: > > Okay, I'm officially a bozo.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Experimentor - I like that. In crafts, a mistake calls for some creativity so you can make it look like you " meant to " do that My grocery store only had one kind of pita bread, so I bought that. It's flat, stiff and cracks easily, but the flavor was interesting. I was thinking I'd toast it and use it as hummus scoopers. I suppose I'll have to try another store.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I have an easy recipe for tortillas.... when they are home made they are quite easy to roll up and *durable* to. I'll send it on in a bit ) peace nikki - Laurie B Friday, April 25, 2003 2:09 PM Re: Pitas Experimentor - I like that.
