Mmmmm...homemade tamales for breakfast!

[GOPisEvil]

A woman in my office brought homemade tamales for us to enjoy. :9

I took some real tamales home to my parents once. My mom said the real ones were too greasy, so she prefers the ones in the can. :puke::shrug:

If you go to a tamaleria, and there aren't old grandmas working in the back, go somewhere else.

1. Mmmmmm

Tamales.

2. *drool*

God that sounds good. :9

My best friend's step-mom taught me how to make tamales last xmas. :-) It was messy and a ton of fun.

It probably won't make anyone nearly so jealous as homemade tamales, but someone in my office brought xmas cookies and that's what I had for breakfast.

3. tamales for breakfast?

be still my stomach.......

5. I remember the days of the chorizo and egg tacos for breakfast.

Talk about heartburn. But, damn, that's good stuff. Every now and then, when I want to splurge, I have that for breakfast.

11. Our Spanish teacher made chorizo and eggs one morning

and brought it in with homemade tortillas. Damn it was awesome!

14. If you want to spice up your chili, add some chorizo.

A little bit goes a long way. People will wonder what they're tasting in the background.

Homemade tortillas rock. :9

4. That sounds good!

:9

Better than my eggs and toast. Nothing like hot sauce first thing in the AM! :9

6. You are SO EVIL!

And your mom, bless her soul, has, um, odd tastes. She's obviously never been to a tamaleria or taqueria in Long Beach or Santa Ana, CA.

best Homer voice mmmm. . . . tamales . . . .

7. Get a recipe!!!

I save recipes I find here and other places on my hard drive.

Soon, I'll have to start sharing a few.

8. I spent several years in Arizona as a kid,

and they used to serve the best fresh tamales for lunch at school. That was cool.

[GOPisEvil]

9. Damn! At school?

Wow...that's pretty damn cool.

[VelmaD]

10. Beats the heck outta...

corny dogs and soup with grease floating on the top.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Yeah, but the school pizza rocked!

At least ours did. Gotta love those rectangular slices. ;-)

[VelmaD]

15. We didn't get pizza...

in the school cafeteria until high school. :-( Stupid nutritious lunches. *grump*

And did they ever serve anything for dessert other than red jello? I hate jello. :eyes:

[Aristus]

13. Yeah, I was pretty lucky. It was a Department of Defense school,

cuz my dad was in the Army, and they skimped in a few places on budgeting. But one area that worked out great was utilizing local resources for the school lunch program, instead of having a standardized menu. Local mothers (and grandmothers, too, I'm sure, GOP ;-) ) would come in and make the tamales for the kids. They had other menu items as well, but I can't remember them, just the tamales; they were THAT good! :-)

[GOPisEvil]

16. WTF?!?! I got gypped!

Regular public school sucked. x( :P

[Aristus]

17. Maybe, maybe not. DOD schools used their resources in different ways,

with varying results. The schools on Fort Knox, KY, were okay. The buildings were in good shape, but the teachers were so-so and the lunches were mediocre at best. On Fort Lewis, WA, the school buildings were falling down around our ears, anf the lunches were slop, but the teachers were fairly good.

18. Hmmm...I dated a girl that went to Randolph AFB high school.

It was a pretty nice school, all things considered. I wish I'd stayed in contact with her after graduation though. Yow! :9

[Aristus]

19. Something about those Randolph women, huh GOP?

My mother was Miss Randolph Air Force Base, 1959.

[GOPisEvil]

20. REALLY?!?!

Wow - how interesting.

Yeah, Randolph HS had more than their share of hotties. Seemed like every woman that went to school there was cute. I went to church on Randolph, so I hung out with them a lot. They were good kids. I'd have preferred going there actually, but as we never lived on base, I couldn't go. :-(

21. I was thinking about...

having hot tamales for breakfast. (the mike and ike-like cinnamon-flavored stuff).
