Yeah, making tamales from scratch is a long, involved process.
Delicious yes! But no, I won't do it again. It's nice you have a
neighbor who makes them.

That's nice, Cheri!

I do have one neighbor who seems to constantly run out of butter. She
never offers to replace it. These days I pretend I don't have any if
she calls and asks. I used to cat sit for her too, for free. When she
was gone I'd often find she didn't leave enough cat food.
