I start making these tonight with a few family members! So delicious but soooooo much work!

Oh, I've been invited to a few tamale making parties. Yeah, no way! The work that goes into making them vs. the cost for good homemade ones ... I'm buying them for sure!

Must be a west coast/SW USA thing. We have decent tamales here thanks to enough texans making their way up into OK.

Yeah, I think it is anywhere with a significant Mexican population. In my old neighborhood the BEST tamales were sold by a women in the Target parking lot. I miss those tamales! I learned on Nextdoor that there is a Tamale Lady that covers a few nearby neighborhoods, but not mine 😭 😭

Was she selling them out of a roll around cooler? Because we have one of those ladies here and I love her tamales!

Its definitely a labor of love! Although I have no energy after makings tons, I get to catch up with my family and eat good after so I try to look on the bright side lol. But Im not going to lie, the thought of buying sounds better to me. I'm just too scared to bring it up. I can already see the dirty looks! lol

Almost every Latin American country has their own tamale and within the country each region uses different ingredients. They also vary by shape and color. Mexican ones are good but some of my favorites are from South America. I have yet to try each one, there are just too many. In Peru there's like 10 different kinds and I've only tried two.

Let me tell y'all... churros from an old lady with a grocery shopping cart as a kiosk in 59th subway station in NYC! Best you ever had 💝 The 90s - we were young and reckless

lunch at my desk. I know that meat isn’t lean but it needs to be eaten with these giant olives. No judgement. Lol And I still mentally think I can eat way more than I can. Which is a nice change from the olden days🤣

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
