Hi everybody and happy Friday! If you're new to Friday Firsts click the link above or in my sidebar for more information.
I have been occupied the past few days by Project Food Blog! It has been a whirlwind so far. We had a 5 course dinner with 7 guests for Challenge 3 so I really hope I make it! I'm excited and hopeful. Thank you if you took the time to vote for me, it really means a lot.
As if you couldn't see it coming a mile away - my first for this week is Tamales!! For my Challenge #2 entry I tackled authentic Mexican cuisine. I made the masa, the pork filling, and the chili sauce all from scratch. Then Johnny and I hand rolled 71 tamales and steamed them. They turned out terrific and I'm so glad we have some in the freezer to enjoy later from all our hard work!Now it's your turn to tell me about your first! To participate in Friday Firsts create a blog post featuring a "first" of yours. Next, link that blog post below and tell us about it! If you don't have a blog or a specific post to link to please tell us about your first in the comment section! Any and all participation is welcome!

ReplyDeletep.s. I'm jealous. Mine isn't until Sat, and I'm freaking out a bit.
I was so impressed with your tamales! (And I can't believe you guys made so many!) I'm excited to read about your dinner - wish I could have been there, too! :D
ReplyDeleteBTW, have I ever told you how much I love your Friday Firsts? So fun!
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with the 71 tamales! I voted and I so hope you make it through! We find out today right?
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't make it to the next round Christina - but at least Kath didn't make it so that's making me happy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make it either - but Mara did! :D
I thought of your Tamales post last night during out dinner as we discussed a bizarre Midwestern dish that Michael grew up with called "Hot Tamales" that in no way resembles actual tamales!
