I just left this info for David Seaman under his newest video, which included lifting up a line from an email that we read when it first came out but, for some reason never flagged. Terrific that someone did AND there's even more.

Here's the money line:
"fresh, handmade tortillas flown in from Mexico the previous day, "
No one needs to fly handmade tortillas in at all, let alone a day ahead of time for any party. There are a million places in DC that make authentic handmade Mexican tortillas, which would actually be fresher if purchased the day of the party.
Googled "Washington, DC handmade mexican tortillas"
872, 000 returns
Gee, with Obama's $65,000 in pizza and hotdogs being flown in from Chicago and all these handmade tortillas being flown in from Mexico there is certainly a lot of "flying around" of food, isn't there?

Wow, how did this go un-noticed. Is is absurd for anyone to 'fly in' fresh tortilla's from Mexico... tortillas?? And from the day before no less...
"This is a family friendly event, so you should bring all children that are available"
This line is also very strange when you think about it. Why would you specifically ask people to bring 'all children that are available'? That's going well above and beyond a general family-friendly invitation.

Islandofdelight - I LOVE TORTILLAS as in food. I live in Texas. We eat a lot of them here. If I am talking about a FRESH tortilla, I want it to be made within seconds of when it was put on my table. The day before is no longer a fresh tortilla. I live in Texas, and we get fresh tortillas at nearly every restaurant and grocery stores (still hot, or made on the other side of the restaurant moments before). Tortillas are a mixture of flour and water or cornmeal and water with very little else besides lard. You don't freaking FLY tortillas anywhere so you are right it is INCREDIBLY absurd. They could more easily hire a tortilla maker to come to their party and make them right there along with that entire roasted whole pig.

As a fellow Texan, I concur.
