We drove to Menlyn Park mall to walk around mainly and see if we felt like seeing a movie (the kids stayed up until 22h30 the night before so they were in rare form, so we didn't).
While at the mall we went to Checkers Hyper to get sheets (we had already found sleeping bags) for our incoming guests (Mike, Lori, Mark, and David will be here next Sunday, and they were going to be sleeping on air mattresses with nothing else).

Turns out the "corn flour" here is more like "corn starch". Oops. However, we baked her flour tortillas in the oven and they just might do, so we'll try those as chips next...
This is a great one - so many funny pictures! Those tortillas are priceless.
