Last night we decided that since we would have extended family visiting this weekend, that we would make tamales, well Rosita would make them and we helped. Here's the biggest wooden stirrer that I've ever used. We had to make the filling and cook it first. Then we cut the string (actually it's a vine that is smaller than what you use for baskets) in order to tie up the banana leaves after we put the tamales inside them to cook. We also played with Andrea (6 yrs) and Ashley (11 months). Jose's brother, Romeo, lives two blocks away, so we have been able to visit with them every night after they get off work.
We are also including a video of Panchito, the guard parrot, who goes crazy when Jose Luis arrives home from work, and a video of how to make a tamale. Enjoy! (They were great, and we're planning on eating more of them on Friday night when the uncles & aunts come over to see us).

Yum. I didnt realize they used banana leaves. They looked hot! Love the bird. I want one. Have a blast.
Hey, y'all.
It looks like you are enjoying your time with José's family. Panchito is hilarious and the tamales looked delicious. You're missed here but we're glad that you're there :). Miss and love y'all. You're in my prayers.
