Mmmmm-tamales-I love them, but hubby does not. I do so wish this storm would be over-there are errands we both need to run, but I know that the water is over the bridge on the creek up the road. Even if the rain stopped right now (which it is not doing), the only vehicle we could get to the main road in is my 4X4-the water will take several hours to recede from the bridge.
I know the high water on the road routine far too well to scoff at your situation..
After reading many, many recipes for tamales, I've figured out why so many dislike them...........they think tamales are those spicy concoctions found in a can and have no clue what a real tamale tastes like. They're time consuming to make - but to me worth every bit of it!!!!
