So now I have 6.5 dozen Tamales in my freezer, absolutely NO energy and a back and headache that just wont quit. Way to go Barb! So here are the pictures:
Here they are, aren't they beauties!
First you cook the meat in a crock pot for HOURS, then add spices and sauce
Then you prepare the masa, by adding shortening, broth, salt, Baking powder and water, then you have to beat it until the Masa is fluffy enough to float in a glass, which by the way takes WAY MORE BEATING than what you would think.
After you soak the corn husks in hot water you are ready to assemble! After I make 6 I wrap them in tinfoil, then place to sets per bag, that way I can cook a little or a lot at any given time.
P.S HUGE thanks Tana for teaching me how to make your families tradition! I think I will do it every year.... wait, scratch that... I will do it every year if I am NOT 9 months pregnant.

I've never made tamales but those sound yummy. I am so impressed with all of the sewing and cooking!
Arriba!!! Hey so what happens to the days-until-delivery counting baby on the side of your blog if you go over due? Does she start frowning and getting and turn into an angry elf? i sort of want you to go overdue just so i can see what happens!
Tamales - yummy! Next time you're not 9-months pregnant and making tamales, I'd love to watch and learn :)
Wowsers!
Will there be some left when I come to visit?
They look delicious and fabulous and wonderful. I'll bet you're tired!
WHO ARE YOU???? You should have seen my trying to survive D-land on Sat. D-land+me being pregnant=not very fun.
Way to go!!! They look yummy. Sorry my phone quit on you a couple weeks ago. I've been so busy these days and haven't had a chance to call back. Miss you guys!
I am glad that SOMEONE has made tamales before Christmas. I am SOOOO proud of you! You are crazy though...doing it 9 mo prego. I guess you have to do whatever you can to stay out of trouble. :0) Save some for me...in case I don't sit down and make some myself.
Miss you madly....
