Hot tamale!

When you live in Mexico for 6 months there are a few things that are a must to check off of your list.

Volunteer.
Learn Spanish without the classes.
Eat a million mangoes with lime and chili power.
Get a killer tan then go home to make your grandparents think your parents brought you back a Mexican child.
Kiss strangers on the cheek, because well, it's part of the culture.
Have your own pretty Pecos in your wallet.
Eat and do things you wouldn't in the U.S.
Learn how to make tamales

I did just that a few nights ago.
Some of them were nicely done, some where snack size, some where long, and some were just flat out ugly looking.
Their looks had no affect on their deliciousness-ness though.
They were quite fun to make as well, especially when you had to wrap them like a present.
When I get home I shall have a tamale party.
