I was doing just fine, I’d finally completed the Grand Day Out post, took me too darned long. While I was doing that I had a mesquite fire starting up with some Crepinettes and my custom Beer Brats with Cheese waiting. Everything was laid out and it went fine. I tended the fire closely and got the sausages & crepinettes done in fine style. As I was shoving down the first Beer Brat a knock came at the door. I hesitated while chewing, not knowing who it was. As I opened the door is was a Mama, a Papa and a little girl selling fresh Tamals. I don’t know Spanish, maybe some day. But we got it figured out, a dollar a piece and 12 for 11 dollars. I got a dozen, that was an easy one. I don’t know what I’m going to do with them all, maybe share, maybe. Half pork and half chicken they be, easy that way.
I decided to leave my grilled goodies to the side and try one chicken and one pork tamal. Hot sauce in hand I dived in, they okay. I don’t think they used real lard and the stuffin’s is short. Even so, it’s a better tamal than you’d probably find in most places. Not only that? It came to my door.
As a side note, this has happend twice before, but from another family.
