A friend of mine and I make tamales near Christmas-it is a tradition here at that time of year-hubby 's dislike of tamales extends to other things, too-he doesn't like meat wrapped up in anything, like pot pies or sausage rolls but will eat a sandwich or hot dog-I've never figured out what that was about...
LOL!!!!!
It was hubby's stories about tamales at Christmas time when he was living in Pheonix and then Houston that got me into looking at recipes for them. At first I only made them around the holidays - but I got so hooked on them that I have a tendency to make them at anytime of the year now.
