Rave: Homemade Tamales

[Hungary Jack]

This wonderful Mexican woman I work with made another huge batch of tamales to help raise money for a neighborhood school. $10 per dozen.

Man, they are good. I'm having six over a bed of field greens with corn salsa and a 20 oz Fat Tire for dinner.

Yum.

Oh man, you're making me crave Mexican food. To be back in New Mexico right now... mmm.

I especially love tamales.

NM, great place. Where in the Land of Enchantment have you been?

Just about everywhere! I lived in Los Alamos for about 17 years.

One of these I will get up to San Pedro Parks and commune with nature.

What kind of road kill do you use for the meat?

[docellis]

I'm very jealous.

Trader Joes (thanks doc) tamales are pretty darn good. The chicken and cheese tamales rock my world.

I developed a serious love for tamales when I lived in Houston.

The icehouse we hung out at after work had an annual tamalada around Christmastime. Free tamales all day.

Then there was a tamale van that sold them on the side of the road I commuted on. A family venture. They were cheap and delicious.

I did taxes for a couple my wife worked with, and they paid me in tamales (they were from El Paso and made huge tamales stuffed with something best described as a Mexican stew).

And lastly, the grandfather of our receptionist would make tamales overnight when he had insomnia - so some days we'd show up to work and have a bunch of steaming hot tamales waiting for us. I almost never ate breakfast in those days - hoping that grandpa stayed up.

This aroused me to a a frightening level.
