We walk around the track eating tamales. Yum. This year the theme for the walk was blueberries. There is a contest to see who can come up with the best blueberry recipe. This year the Hot Tamales made a batch of tamales with chicken or pork and blueberries in them. I have to say they weren't bad.

Originally Posted By Big Thunder <I love tamales but I've only had handmade beef ones.

With leftover masa, I've played aropund and made tamales with almost anything I find in the fridge, as well as experimenting with different cheeses.

We gamble in hot water, see, see how funny I am?!!??!

Oh and anytime you feel like organizing a meet in PS you can count Mrs. P and I in but we are not really into casinos since we don't gamble (except for changing lanes on the freeway) but there are other cool things to do in PS. There is a really good outlet center out there (that line reads wierd).
