I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Mario and I will be starting our yearly tradition of cooking Tamales tonight. That makes this time of year so special to me. I am so thankful my Mother-in-law and sister-in-law taught me how to do it!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! M

How funny, I bought corn husks and masa the other day because I am determined to make tamales this year. Not for Christmas though. I've always wanted to try to do it but it seems intimidating.

They can be time consuming. The first few years we were married, my husband and I made several phone calls to his sister and mom to help talk us through it! But now we have it down pat!

I've read that they take about two days and a lot of work, but I think homemade tamales would be worth the effort.

It does take us 2 days and yes they are definitely worth the effort!

Thanks and a very merry Christmas to you too. Pardon my ignorance but what are Tamales?

They are a very big Mexican tradition. We use Pork for ours. We cook it (boiled) and then fry and season it. We use the broth from the meat to make Masa which is the dough they are wrapped in. The Masa gets smashed into corn husks, filled with the meat mixture and boiled. They literally mean "wrapped food".

Oh sounds delicious! Enjoy. We have preparations underway for our traditional, turkey, ham and spiced beef. Take care and have fun with your family and friends.

Have a joyous Christmas and a glorious New Year to you and yours, dear Linda
Love,

Merry Christmas to you and yours! I have some friends who also have a tradition of cooking Tamales and love that special time with family. :)

Wishing you a great Christmas enjoy cooking your Tamales i understand they may take a long time to cook. So I guess you will be starting very soon. Take care

Its a two day job for us. When we lived closer to his family we met at his sister's house and the whole family participated in assembly line fashion around the table!

That is a long time .Enjoy and have a safe and wonderful Christmas. Take care
