October 21, 2009

Tackling Turkey Tamales

October 2, 2009

I am a bit of an Alton Brown fan. When I saw the episode of Good Eats entitled Tamale Never Dies, I knew I had to try my hand at Tamales. I watched the episode a couple of times, read through the recipe and braced myself for the task. One issue I quickly faced was […]
