Everyone from both communities of Rosebud Falls and Rosebud Flats were in attendance at the society gala event of the year. Lamenting the recent foul weather on the Gulf Coast, Mr. Flatbottom apologized for not having the much anticipated fresh Atlantic Seafoods, as all rail traffic of the Round Tuit and Faraway Railway has been diverted to assist in the delivery of much needed supplies and aid personnel to the Gulf Coast area thus precluding the shippment of the seafood. <br /> <br />But of more important concern, a new food item was introduced to the area that has been a staple of Southern and Western Texas from frontier days. The Flour and Corn TORTILLA! <br /> <br />Mrs. Flatbottom introduced those in attendance to a new form of "bread". This round almost paper thin flour and corn "bread" easily folds to form a half round sandwich. Mr. Flatbottom referred to this new bread as a tortilla, and explained that it is a bread staple of the Mexican national N&MRR track crews in Two Trees TX. <br /> <br />Mrs. Flatbottom is believed to have mastered the recipe from Mrs. Rosalinda Rodriguez of Two Trees, Texas who was quoted as saying... <br /> <br />"It was hard at the beginning, Mrs. Flattbottom used to have such a hard time makeing cricles out of the dough with a <i>palote</i> [rolling pin], she had got to the point where she was cutting them out of flat dough using a circular lid for a template pattern. It took a while, but she finally learned how t do it right." <br /> <br />The Flattbottoms recently left the Micaela Valley for Colorado to be closer to the operation of the railline of which Mr. Flattbottom is the President. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
