I haven't had a tamale since I was in New Mexico a few years back. Homemade, but no olives. I am used to seeing them tied on both ends - maybe it's a northern NM thing! They are a specialty item- everyone did them for Christmas or a festive event since they are so time consuming. <br />Sorry I haven't been by lately. The last 2 weeks have been pretty occupying in our household= the hubs is in the hospital. Hope all is well with you- you sure made me homesick for tamales! <br />:-) SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-38409841452926547522010-01-10T18:27:09.913-08:002010-01-10T18:27:09.913-08:00This was positively FABULOUS!
