Today was a long day of crock potting, chicken shredding, masa spreading and corn husk soaking. Yup, the bf and I spent the day making chicken (with green chili and cheese) tamales for my dad for father's day. It was quite a chore, even with my new "shortcuts"...prepared green sauce and masa (made without lard...hooray!!). I used to do it all from scratch, but it's such a ginormously huge job.
But, it's all worth it. 10 pounds of masa, 6.5 pounds of chicken, a block of jack, and 18 hours later, there are 44 super yummy tamales.
Love you dad!
