Yeah, I'm getting a group not found message too. Might want to check the syntax of the link.

I have, and love it! -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 2:50 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Nicole Massey Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales A tamale isn't the problem, it's a good tamale, and as someone who ate tamales almost from the crib I'm sort of picky about my tamales. In this area tamale production is a standard form of entrepreneurship for Hispanic and Mexican-American women, but since I don't work in an office I don't have the almost ubiquitous Latin co-worker with a family member who makes tamales for her family member to sell at work. So that's why I'm listening for recipes to indulge the roommate's experimentation. -----Original Message----- From: Naima Leigh via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Naima Leigh <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales If you mean grocery stores, then try Aldies, wall mart, crogers, Publics or any other store that will sell them. For the family issue, you're not alone. I'm going through similar problems as well. -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 2:26 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Nicole Massey Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales I'm unable to get her recipe for the fruit tamales, as she's currently at war with my family after the divorce. The reason I asked is because I was curious as to what you turned up for the meat fillings. I've had a problem finding decent tamales -- it's hard to predict what will be available from independent cooks, and the different specialty places that make them in the area are inconsistent in quality. My best tamale source, amazingly enough, is at Braums, but my roommate has expressed interest in making them sometime, so that's why I'm always interested in recipes for them. Our front door has a sign up advising people of the rules of the house, and one of them is as follows: "No solicitation. Exceptions will be made for Girl Scout cookies and tamales." -----Original Message----- From: Naima Leigh via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 12:30 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Naima Leigh <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales Well Nichole, I would love to try your versions too. Will you please post them? P.S. Every family has one or more of those in them. -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Nicole Massey Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales To make this we'll need recipes for the filling too, as it's definitely more than just shredded meat. My former sister-in-law made a variation on this with raisins, diced apple, coconut, and chopped pecans, and she formed them as flat triangles instead of rolls. They were well liked by my family. (Far more than she was, but she was a drama queen who threw fits if she wasn't the center of attention) I've also encountered tamales made with cheese and spices or beans. -----Original Message----- From: Naima Leigh via Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Naima Leigh <[email protected]> Subject: [CnD] Tamales Tamales Tamales are wintertime food in the American Southwest, and a Christmas Eve must in the Mexican-influenced cuisine so popular there.
