Youngest daughter in college in St. Peter Minnesota is teaching her roommates and friends how to make tamales for their Friendsgiving Feast tomorrow before she flys backhome. Several items she had to pickup in the twin cities as they weren't available out in the hinterlands. Cooking the pork butt and soaking the Hojas (corn husks).

Just a process Jim, Like rebuilding a carburetor. Some shorcuts make it easier. like being able to buy the masa already prepared if you have a Mexican market/deli nearby.

Nice. Growing up Italian it was always a ravioli factory around the holidays. Now, after three other moves to Texas, tamales have been on the list. Given our somewhat recent change in diet/life style I suspect we will never build any here...

Hate to admit this but it is the truth.....gotta have that bright orange grease on them. Thick red meat filling, and about a 1/4" max of orange greasy corn masa.

We’ve been making tamales for I don’t know how long for Christmas Holidays. My brothers and I get together on a Sunday(next!)and do it assembly line style. Have a lot of fun and tell lots of lies too. All of our clan enjoys them and we give lots away for gifts.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

Tell her there is a decent mercado (maybe was, haven't been there in maybe 3 years) in St James. La Alborada on Lake St in Minneapolis is decent. Burrito Mercado in West St Paul is very good.

It wasn't as good a mercado as either of the two I mentioned in the cities, but it wasn't bad. La Alborada has some really good things not available elsewhere that I have found. Burrito Mercado has a really good selection. Chances are good she knows about it.

Must be a TX thing but I swear I know old ranchers that hate anything Mexican but I have brought them those and almost brought them to their knees.
