We went to the tamale festival yesterday, and my tummy failed it's test and we had to return sooner than we would have liked, (but the tamales were great).
So today we returned and had a great time. We stood in line for 40 min. to buy tamales from Grandma Lupe, she is a little old Hispanic lady with lots of family and friends to help out. They only sell them once a year at this festival. They were the best tamales we have ever eaten. They were all sold out of beef and chicken. We had to choose from pork, cheese and chilies, strawberry, pineapple, chocolate (with nutmeg, nuts, and chocolate chips). Now you might ask strawberry? chocolate?, well we did, but Gorgie being adventurous decided to try the strawberry after talking to a lady while waiting in line. I'm here to tell you they were awesome, the masa was infused with a strawberry puree and it was stuffed with cream cheese, these are to die for. Oh, the pork was awesome as well. We did get some to go so for dinner we will have a pork tamale and either a strawberry or chocolate for dessert.
This is a very popular festival attended by hundreds, they had 200 booths selling all sorts of tamales, rides for the kids and three stages with entertainment, alot of them kids from schools in Mexico. We will come back to this again.
By the way I'm well now.
More Later, Rich
