Making Christmas Eve Dinner

Curt, his sister Julee, his Mom, and I made homemade tamales and BBQ meat for Christmas Eve dinner. Here I am soaking the corn husks to that they are soft enough to fold up

Curt is making the jucie to mix with masa to make the dough for the tamales.Here they are mixing in the masa with the juice.

Now curt is spreading the masa on the corn husk and i am putting in the chicken.

Here are the finished products. They look and smell like they should, but too bad the steamer was not working right so we had to cook them all night and we had them for lunch the next day.

Here is curt tenderizing the meat with his big knife.


Even though they did not work out propperly we enjoyed working together to make them.
