Shop, return gifts, watch DVD's, play video games, pound the pavement power walking, ski, relax....??????
OR start a brand new tradition : Host a Tamaleta - that's Spanish for Tamale Party! (Or I just made the word up) OK, the official name is "Fiesta del Tamal" according to Luis Munoz, expert translator...and great South American Jazz musician.
It was lots of fun, and my favorite worlds collided as we used YARN (thin cotton classic, variegated) to wrap up the little presents of turkey, tomatillo sauce and masa. There was also a batch of sweet tamales, with bitttersweet chocolate wrapped in corn husks....try it instead of fighting the lines at the stores next year!
Where's Lou???? He's getting the shots of Patron ready for us!
after the tamales were devoured, we returned to our knitting posts and watched 30 Rock episodes. What a perfect way to end the closing days of the year!
