I picked up some tamales for dinner. I love tamales!
Grilled chicken, artichoke, tomato and basil pesto on farfalle pasta, tossed salad and tea. The pasta dish only had 4 tablespoons of pesto for 2 people. I had leftovers too. Enough for lunch I hope.
I lost one pound already, grrr. I had hoped to lose one pound per week. I know, keep trying.
I could come to Texas and chase you across the cactus fields brandishing my cane?
Oh I'd be so happy if you were chasing after me brandishing your cane!

My grandma used to make tamales. She learned from Mexican women in her neighborhood. Making tamales is very time consuming, so I haven't learned to make them. Here's the day long process:
Make the Tamales
Tamales are a staple in Texas and you can find them in all grocery stores. I like beef, pork bean, and spinach tamales. I usually serve tamales with refried beans and chips with queso (cheese with hot peppers). Tamales are traditional for Christmas Eve.
Each geographic area has its own variety of tamales. The tamales in Texas are "Tex-Mex." You will become instantly popular if you can make tamales. If you can make tamales, I want to be your friend!
Too cold in Canada. Wait for a nice warm day .
