The Chilebrown Household is very lucky to have good friends. Ray, a friend, for 28 years, makes Tamales every year at Christmas time for his family and friends. We are the recipients of these special Mexican Holiday Treats. These are the real deal. They are made with Love and Years of practice. Once you have a taste you will be in Masa Heaven! They will be served with some homemade
refried pinto beans drenched in 'Nueske' bacon fat and salt. Some fresh Salsa, that Ray made will also accompany these Yummy treats.
We are very Lucky. This was some serious good food. Merry Christmas!

Luvs me some tamales... that's on the list this year of things to learn... right after I gets some sausages under my belt. Got a new 5qt Kitchenaid mixer and food grinder from Santa, and I'm already eyeballing some recipes from Charcuterie...
One of the things I love best about living here is the wonderfully diverse cultures and traditions at Christmas/Hanukah/Solstice time. Sounds great!
I smoked two slabs of loin ribs and a tritip beef roast on Friday, does that count?

It only counts if you got the Gravy!
Oh shit, you know what? I did have gravy! We had leftovers from the previous party. We had mashed taters, gravy and a stellar stuffing! My brother inlaw made it, put something hot in it, so good.

Oh Man, homemade tamales made with love, doesn't get much better than that!
