Tamales

Our First Tamale

 

Another fun Mazatlan experience – this one started on Twelfth Night (or Epiphany) which we celebrated here at the bus with our Mazatlan family.  Our friend Ismael baked an awesome bread with little figures baked into it.  If you got a piece that had one of these little guys in it, you had to make Tamales for the gang on Feb. 2 (Candelaria).  Of course, Hal got one of them.  Sooooooooo………

Yesterday, we both worked our little heinies off and made 17 beautiful, tasty tamales.  And we were the ONLY ones at the gathering that actually made them from scratch.  The other tamales we ate were ordered ahead of time.  We had a fun meal with our friends.  Making the tamales was one of my favorite parts of the week.  Yummmmm…
