Too Many Tamales @ BWAY

Do you remember the book "Too Many Tamales"?
A family gets together to make tamales. The little girl tries on her relatives ring, loses it in the tamale mix and it gets wrapped and cooked in one of the tamales. The whole family eats the tamales until they find the ring.

The BWAY girls got together to make tamales. None of us made them before, or even ate them. It was fun, although we did not lose anything in the mix.

We had time to spare after the food was prepared so we made dolls from the left over corn husks.

Yummy salad!
