Tortilla Holders for Seat Warmers

From the Laredo Morning Times:
Federal funding, homeland security and immigration were all topics of discussion, but City of Laredo delegates didn’t forget the warm tortillas. City officials took 250 pewter tortilla holders with them to Washington, D.C., for their annual March trip. The presents were bought from Marti’s in Nuevo Laredo and cost the city a total of $3,200.

“We gave them to every congressional leader and to different agencies as a gift,” said Xochitl Mora Garcia, city spokeswoman. “We try to make it unique or cultural.”
