Hmmmm let me give this a try...I have just created this site and am not real sure just how this works yet...
but Hey.... I'm having a pretty good time sitting here figuring out what to do next!

We made homemade tamales today!!!! Me and my hubby worked several hours making our very first
batch of low fat good for you Tamales!!! We used boiled shredded chicken for the filling, and in the masa ......
(the doughy
yummy outside part) that is spread on the corn husk leaves...for that, we used olive oil, some of the chicken broth, a very small amount of vegetable shortening, and......
minimal salt in our masa. (Usually pure Lard is what is used in the masa.. sounds yucky but makes great tasting, tender tamales!

 Well we wanted great tasting but lower fat, healthier tamales... and?????? Yes, they turned out wonderful! Were tender tasty, GREAAAAAAT :-) we were so pleased....I will post a Tamale PIC and
recipe on my next post...after I figure out how to get the photo on here... Hmmm I did mention in my
profile that I enjoy learning new stuff.. ooooouuuu boy have learned lots of new stuff today...
but have had an OK time...until next time...Best Regards, Arita :-)
