Tamale Day!!!

My mom and I drove up to Florence, AZ today to make tamales with my best friend, TimaSue, and her family. We've done this for several years and it is always a lot of fun...and a lot of work...but soooooo worth it! Yummy tamales!

Mark's first time mixing the masa (masa is the corn mixture that is in tamales)...you mix it all up with your hands...its fun and gooey :)
