I LOVE LOVE LOVE tamales. This year I hosted my 3rd annual tamale party and we had a ton of fun making lots and lots of tamales. A big thanks to my Mom who came early in the day and helped me make all the fillings. She also kept me from making the fillings too hot. ( I really like SPICY food, but I know that most people don't like things as spicy as me so Mom helped me restrain myself.)
And I must say that every year I am amazed that I actually buy lard for this event. The idea of lard has always sicked me out but I know that the tamales wouldn't turn out half as yummy without it. So until next Christmas, good bye lard. 
And I must add how much I LOVE my kitchen for the long island down the middle-perfect for tamale assembling.

How fun! I remember making tamales with you at my house in San Diego before my parents left. They were so yummy! Maybe I'll get to catch your tamale party next year...
Sorry I couldn't make it. There was a virus running amok in my home.
looks like fun. I love tamales! Yummmm!!
Thanks for an awesome tamale party. I really enjoyed it, and LOVED the tamales. I can't believe the lard part though--I'm hoping i'll forget about it before next year! ;)
Thanks for a great, fun, yummy night!
