Originally Posted By m2 Ahh, but Dave's house is much closer to all of you that want tamales. Plus I know how much Dave loves having company at his house.

Originally Posted By trailsend I love fruitcake. The best fruitcake ever is made right here in Georgia ~ Claxton, GA. Claxton Fuitcake. I love tamales, too. Are you going to share, Lisann, like ship some to Georgia??? OR, when you fly in for a business trip, call me and I'll come pick them up. Sounds reasonable to me.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Ok, in all seriousness, not that anyone is really asking but tamales are a lot of work.

Then, Saturday morning my mom, sister and I started at 8am, we finished making the tamales at 5:45pm, steaming them all took till 2am in the morning. We made 30 dozen. Normally with a larger crew we do about 75 dozen. So, whipping them up is not an easy chore. LOL!
