This wonderful Mexican woman I work with made another huge batch of tamales to help raise money for a neighborhood school. $10 per dozen.

Man, they are good. I'm having six over a bed of field greens with corn salsa and a 20 oz Fat Tire for dinner.

Yum.

Oh man, you're making me crave Mexican food. To be back in New Mexico right now... mmm.

I especially love tamales.

NM, great place. Where in the Land of Enchantment have you been?

Just about everywhere! I lived in Los Alamos for about 17 years.

One of these I will get up to San Pedro Parks and commune with nature.

What kind of road kill do you use for the meat?

I'm very jealous.

Trader Joes (thanks doc) tamales are pretty darn good. The chicken and cheese tamales rock my world.

I developed a serious love for tamales when I lived in Houston.

The icehouse we hung out at after work had an annual tamalada around Christmastime. Free tamales all day.

Then there was a tamale van that sold them on the side of the road I commuted on. A family venture. They were cheap and delicious.

I did taxes for a couple my wife worked with, and they paid me in tamales (they were from El Paso and made huge tamales stuffed with something best described as a Mexican stew).

And lastly, the grandfather of our receptionist would make tamales overnight when he had insomnia - so some days we'd show up to work and have a bunch of steaming hot tamales waiting for us. I almost never ate breakfast in those days - hoping that grandpa stayed up.

This aroused me to a a frightening level.
