Just finished day 1 of operation "Make a bunch of tamales"

Meat shredded, blended with spices, Masa dough mixed to the proper consistancy.

Day 2:  Offer beer/cats game to GF/neighbor and sneak attack them into helping me roll out 12LBS of tamales.

That sounds like an awesome plan. Will need some process and finished product pics

You did it twice so I didn't know if it was something culinary I didn't know about.  Sheesh, no more compliments for you.

Done in time for tipoff





Ski trip tamales.   Originally i was planning on having these for diner, but a thought occurred to me.  Tamale ladies are able to keep tamales warm and delicious in a cooler for what i imagine must be hours.  If i want to take these bad boys up on the mountain instead of some deli meat sandwiches, what would be the best way to do so?

oh man, those look great!

i would heat the tamales, then dampen a towel and throw it in the microwave, then wrap the tamales in the nuked towel, put in a cooler and not open until ready to eat

let's talk cutting boards. what do you guys use? my current house has a pull out right next to the sink which is really convenient. I think they are kind of junky though. Thinking about ain insert that covers half of my new sink for the new place. could be too small though. I cover acres with onion on the reg. what materials are best?

I bought a thick bamboo one a year ago. It is great and shows basically zero sign of wear yet gets used almost daily. Would recommend.

We have a nice wooden one, not sure of the kind of wood.  But I'm not allowed to cut meat on it, which necessitates two cutting boards.  So, like, maybe be prepared for that.

ya boos are pretty much the pro tip, get a 2 1/4 inch maple or cherry boss one and then get a smaller plastic generic one you can carry around your kitchen.

I like the look of a good wooden cutting board, but I get a little freaked out about germs.  Instead, I prefer a couple different sized antibacterial plastic boards.  When you're done you can throw them in the dishwasher.

is there science backing up these claims of plastic being less germy? seems made up.

Also if a few little germs hurt you then you're weak and should be culled from the gene pool anyway.
