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.
Last year my friend and I didn't make tamales because she had company from out of state and I had a job I needed to finish-we plan to make them this December, though.
