Arizona has all the hummingbirds.  

If they fly non-stop from FL to Mexico, it must be over pirate-infested waters.

UNTIL.... i discovered pulled smoked pork, pickled assorted peppers, and rolled like spring rolls and dropped in cast iron pan deep enough to cover them, and fried... served with a blob (okay, a 'dollop') of sour cream and fresh salsa... drizzled in hot sauce... and... kaboom- i'm a corn tortilla fan after all. 
Wife makes homemade taquitos, pulled pork, brisket, or heck whatever we've got. Delicious.

 Hummingbirds are assholes. We had to hang a second feeder because they'd fight each other off the one.

True, but their tongues are pretty impressive. They can extend that bad boy more than two inches beyond the end of their beak if they have to, in order to slurp up that sugar water.

I'd guess they mate for life

So, I got the second Shingrix shot yesterday (shingles).  The first one made me feel bad day and a half.  This one taken at noon was fine until I went to bed around 10 PM.  I started shivering uncontrollably, I had to put a pen between my teeth.  The wife covered me up with blankets and I finally took Tylenol.  Then I woke at 3 AM feeling  gnarly but nor shivering.  I almost got the flu shot yesterday as well, the wife talked me out of that.

This is a dead virus vaccine but apparently a minority react fairly badly.  I'm "OK", and it's better than getting shingles, but that was not much fun for a while.

Same look if someone asks me if I want to open a brewery. Hmm, combine a massive pay cut with backbreaking labor, while turning a hobby into an obligation. What's not to like? Hummingbirds are assholes. We had to hang a second feeder because they'd fight each other off the one.
Maybe but think how far they came for that drink.They'd prolly burn 1/4 of their weight hovering in line

i worked at a friends fresh seafood market for a couple months... was under the guise of "helping him out some" which i didn't mind doing.... this is right after i shut down the cigar shops and just before i shipped off OCONUS doing the contract thing- so the timing was right. 

one day i noticed he wasn't around much anymore, and was out fishing more times than not- not commercial fishing, but recreational... and he didn't even ask me to go like he often did before i agreed to help him out... why would he? he needed me to run his business while he fished... grrrr.... I told him I had to go to a wedding one weekend and he got angry telling me I better reconsider if I wanted to keep working there.... dahfook?  that was my last day.  He wasn't even paying me minimum wage with all the hours i was pulling... and it was just to 'help him out of a tight spot'... i've learned a lot about people over the years... but i NEVER learned how to get the smell of seafood out of your skin... it has to just wear off... terrible... and when you think it's gone? go to a gym and get a good workout going, and you'll discover it's not.  the only thing good about working at a fresh seafood market is you actually gain an immunity to poisons found in fish and crustacean... it doesn't come easy, mind you- you get poked with those things in your hands and fingers, and they become super sore- and then, after a while, they don't bother you whatsoever other than the poke. 

re: tortillas... I LOVE flour tortillas... use them for everything from sandwiches to quesadillas to mopping a plate of eggs and sausage for breakfast.. corn? i've no use for them unless they're fried and in chip form... UNTIL.... i discovered pulled smoked pork, pickled assorted peppers, and rolled like spring rolls and dropped in cast iron pan deep enough to cover them, and fried... served with a blob (okay, a 'dollop') of sour cream and fresh salsa... drizzled in hot sauce... and... kaboom- i'm a corn tortilla fan after all. 

Corn tortillas are used in making delicious enchiladas, so that's a pretty important use for them.

I also prefer traditional street tacos in corn (you use two of them) over flour.

I'm not sure what you use in your enchilada recipe, but we've tried to use corn tortillas in our enchiladas and all they do is fall apart when they're in the oven.

On Netflix, there is a show called the Taco Chronicles. The first episode focused on al pastor tacos in Mexico City. By the looks of it, taquieras in Mexico City are as ubiquitous as pizza slices in New York or teriyaki in Seattle. Their al pastor tacos are actually cooked on a spit, like gyro meat. They look great.

I've got 8 years before I'm old enough for insurance to cover the shingles vaccine, despite the fact that I got shingles two years ago. 

Luckily mine was really mild, but I don't want a repeat.

Do you fry your tortillas before you fill them? It really helps them hold together. Depending on the heat of the oil, it's only 30-40 seconds, not enough to get crispy. Part of that is "by feel", too. The wife and I just did enchiladas on Monday, and I was frying the tortillas before she filled them. I was only doing 30 seconds, but after a few she asked me to increase and I pushed it to ~35 seconds and they held together better. 

And yes, al pastor is Spanish for effing delicious.
