Tamales!!!

My friend Amy saw a Groupon for a tamale-making class and invited me along.  Somewhere along the way we decided it would be even more fun to make them ourselves at home, so we nixed the Groupon idea and went on a quest to create the perfect tamale. 

I researched recipe's, got advice from people who'd made tamales for decades, and visited the local bodega.  Then Amy and I rolled up our sleeves and spent a Saturday cooking, shredding, boiling, steaming, assembling and eating the YUMMIEST tamales.  Fun times :-)
