There's Nothing Wrong With Needing Someone To Show You How To Make Something. I Know i Need The Help!!!

There Are Really Only Two Ways To Learn To Cook And That Is To Just Teach Yourself By Experimenting Or Have Someone Show You.

I Think The Latter Is More Effective If You Plan On Eating Anything You Make Anytime Soon. Not Everyone Just Knows How To Cook, Anything I Know How To Cook I Learned From My Mom.

Someday I Will Ask Her To Teach Me How To Make Menudo Too ( Since Hers Is The Best), But Not Now, Because She Can Just Make It For Us!


Her Empanada Recipe Is Also The Best, But Dont Even Try Getting The Recipe From Her!!!! She Seems To Think Its An Ancient Chinese Secret That She Cant Share! I Guess Will Just Have To Keep Asking Her To Make Them For Us. I Want A Dozen Right Now!

mingo jrs menudos the best. i cant prove it to ya becuze he never makes it. ther is a time an a place for cook books. but wen it come to famaly recipes i think those should be handed down and never printed..... just my opion.

on the other hand. no one would know how to make popos tamales if he didant type it up for us..except may b ray or shana.

so it has its pros and cons.

all i know is who ever is makein whatever just call me up and ill be a taste tester for sure.

I Heard Uncle Mingo Makes Good Chicken Chiliquiles.

Nows Thats One Recipe Ray Needs To Pass On.

Maybe He Will Trade With My Mom For Her Empanada Recipe!

Im Hungry Yall, I Didnt Have Lunch Today.

Do you'll still want tamales for Christmas dinner?

heck yes. cuz for sum of us thats the only thing we get to unwrap.

Yes!! we have to have Tamales for xmas, Shana I need a one on one with you on this, maybe we should each try and make batch of tamales or maybe some of us should? I'm game.

yea, i was thinking if everyone wanted to try their own batch..and we could bring the kind that we like..(we could add the meat that we like) but i guess that would break another tradition of getting together and making tamales...i guess we can talk about the tamales on Sat when we have the meeting...i was even going to practice on making some tamales this weekend, but i guess i'll do it next weekend..i want to get the tamales perfect like mom & dad's. Our tamales are good ladies, but we need them to be a little juicier...and believe me mom & dad cared when they made the tamales, not like us when we get tired and say forget it, they wanted them to be good for everyone...they argued all of the time when they were making them...I love them so much....sorry but this time of the year makes me think of them the most...

I know what you mean....it's hard not to think about them. We need to try and make the tamales this year again. Last year you had to leave us because Chilito was sick, so we were left there & Dad, so I was lost.
