The "Flour Tortilla" and the Workout of the Day

A "sourdough" was a nickname used in the Yukon or Alaska during the gold rush for someone who spent an entire winter north of the Arctic Circle. The name is used because they would protect their sourdough starter from the cold by keeping it close to their bodies. Yeast and baking soda didn't work nearly as well in the cold. Freezing does not kill a sourdough starter, being too hot does. With all of that said, we have decided that surviving an entire Tucson summer deserves a similar title. We have decided that title should be the "flour tortilla". The tortilla is to the Southwest as sourdough is to the North. So, congratulations to all my fellow tortillas out there! Sweat on!
