Tamale time is almost here! For over a decade now, we've hosted an annual Tamale Fest

We like hanging out with people. We like eating. So, why not create an event where we can eat and hang out with people. When we lived in Phoenix, we discovered that most people we knew were not native to Arizona. Often at Thanksgiving time, people would be on their own. So, we created an open house where I smoked some turkeys, made all the sides homemade and we invited everyone we knew to come by the house during the day, hang out, eat food, watch football and just have a good time.

Since we moved to Texas, it seems everyone is from Texas and they have a place to go on Thanksgiving. We decided to create an event between Thankgiving and Christmas where people could drop in and enjoy homemade tamales, Spanish rice, beans, and other treats. Last year we estimated about 200 people showed up. This year we’re having two parties. Stay tuned for the details.
