What a day it's been! We woke up early and started prepping for the day long tamale making. Man, they are hard work. You gotta get EVERYTHING ready before even starting all while preparing the famous Christmas Eve Ponche. Yummm. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the yumminess that we'll be enjoying toward the end of the evening. My mom always makes the best tamales and I'll admit I never really helped. But today I actually dove right in and helped with everything and I'm beat! I was standing for hours and my back is killing me. I'm tired and all I want to do is take an eight hour nap. LOL. So right now I'm supposed to be resting, but I decided to blog about the process instead because later on I'll just be too tired to remember.... So here are some pictures of the process... Maybe next year when I'm all about I want tamales I'll remember the hard work and think about it more. lol..... But yeah, the house smells delicious!
By the way, these are Guatemalan tamales. Yum. Yum. Yum!
