Edge Report post Posted August 22, 2023 7 hours ago, idgaf said: This takes me back to my childhood and my grandmother breaking any child labor law there ever was. We would grease each chili in crisco, roast them on a wood stove with mesquite in August in tucson.  Then husk corn for what felt like days. Those were the easy parts and then grind corn by hand until me and my brothers had arms that look like something out of he-man. She would make 100 dozen tamales at a time. Sounds like your grandma knew how to keep you boys on the straight and narrow. Some good memories there.  Kids need more tasks these days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, all she was missing was the highway patrol hat and a stick whip and she could run an Alabama chain gang.  I miss those tamales. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have only had a few that were good. In 2010 I was working at 22Ave and Peoria and a woman came past selling them. The masa was not gritty but ground real fine and seemed like it almost had more lard and maybe a teench of creme in it. Oh, and it actually had meat in it unlike the usual "Jewish" tomales where they just "passover" the meat and fillings. In my experience they usually just have an ounce or two tablespoons of meat and the people selling them are more interested in makeing money. Yeah, Yeah I know everybody's abuela make the best but that's not been my experiance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
