I stopped at Deming, New Mexico after leaving Rockhound State Park, to gas up and buy some groceries. I really only needed milk and bananas but discovered the grocery store made their own fresh corn and flour tortillas! I watched the mixing, rolling, baking process until I was seduced by the aroma of freshly baked tortillas. Of course I had to buy a package and as soon as I was outside I had to eat one. As I enjoyed its warm, tender, goodness I thought of what else I could add to my tortilla.
Once I got back to Van, I took a warm flour tortilla and wrapped it around part of a milk chocolate caramel bar. Yum! It tasted like an ooey, gooey junk food celebration. Later, I tried the same combination with a sliced banana. Delicious! I made one more discovery that day. Driving while eating an ooey, gooey chocolate caramel creation is not a great decision; very similar to the time I learned not to drive while eating giant, frosting covered cinnamon rolls.
Later that evening, after I made camp at Chiricahua National Monument, I continued my tortilla obsession. I made a little fire and grilled some summer sausage which I ate with a freshly warmed tortilla and salsa. I sat in the dark watching the glowing coals, listening to the trickle of a nearby stream and the calls of night creatures. Surely, this is heaven.
