First post of the year has nothing to do with anything crafty in the normal sense of the word...but since my cooking/growing blog has gotten no love in months here is a cooking update.
New Years Day was the first day of my living in my apartment alone in lots of years. I decided i needed an awesome all day (and night) activity to help me pass the time and do some bonding with my house. Thus the Tamale making was decided. I have "tried" to make tamales once before, but not with a lot of success. I found a good vegetarian filling recipe online and already had a vegetarian masa recipe.
The process was started the night before with the soaking of the husks. Around noon I began preparing the filling. Yummy! Next masa was prepared and then tamales assembled! I added some cheese as cheese is a requirement, mmmm... I didn't follow the recipe here, but they had awesome step by step instructions on making tamales, which were reviewed many times for the actual assemblage of the goodness.
