It's Christmas Time!

I ended up with about 5 dozen tamales over the past two days.

Red & green, both pork and beef as well as corn.

I don't want them to go to waste, so I'm having a tamale and beer party Saturday.

Today is a day for all tamale lovers. Can't wait for my first chorizo tamale!

Hmm I'm going to have to try some of those chorizo tamales sometime.

The Wednesday farmer's market at work has great tamales. Pork, thank you. There's a guy who makes at least one trip a day down my street selling tamales. For the longest, I couldn't figure what he was saying, I'd just hear this shouting coming and going and I thought it was just another crazy. Then I saw him with the shopping cart and realized he was speaking Spanish. Haven't tried them yet. When I first moved here. a young couple used to sell them every Saturday afternoon door to door. Six for $5. Delicious. Boy, do I miss them.

What about the papusa? I had a homemade papusa and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. A big thick corn tortilla stuffed with cheese and grilled.

By the way, Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Those things are awesome. A friend of mine married a guy from Cuba....that is now one of her specialties.
