Making Tamales

Some friends had us over to make tamales de elote (corn).  It took practically all day, but was a good time.
snack time
Kelly cut corn and I don't care.
Bruce grinding corn at the mill
Ana and Kelly take the ground corn back to the house
Walk like a Salvadoran.
Los Fox form the tamales by filling the husks with the ground corn.
Orbelina and Baltazar, tamale experts
Kelly mixes atol, a hot, thick corn drink.
Tamales, ready to be steamed on the fire.  Mission accomplished.
