annie. it's good to have you here. congratulations on getting to goal. as to your gain on core--i'm not sure what happened unless maybe you ate more than you had been eating lately. or maybe it was just a water retention problem. i don't know.
your homemade tortillas sound core to me. could you post the recipe for us? are you planning to make chips out of them?
have you tried slicing potatoes really really thin. soaking them in salty ice water then baking them on a rack in the oven @ 400*? that might work.
