Javier and I knew that we were going to dinner at a friend's home last night, so we didn't plan a Mexican meal here at home. Not wanting to completely abandon our challenge to eat Mexican food every day, we met at a local Mexican restaurant for lunch.
If the lunch had been good, I'd be writing all about it here in this space today. But it was not enough to inspire a long entry. The best I can say about lunch yesterday is 1) it was economical, and 2) they served it quickly after we ordered.
Dinner at our friend's home was centered around a visitor from Costa Rica. Our friend, Janet, had prepared a soup inside of pumpkins as a fall treat for all of us. Her visitor, Lorena, had brought some tamales all the way from Costa Rica, tamales that were wrapped in banana leaves. They were feather light and it was hard to determine what kind of flour (corn?) had been used in the dough. They had small amounts of chicken and carrot cooked into the dough - and that's about all I can report.

Hola Robin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for including us in your Blog! Lorena is going to inquire as to what kind of flour was used for the Costa Rican tamales. We think it was corn but it seemed quite different than the Mexican corn tamales that we are accustomed to. I'll let you know. Anyway, they were yummy! Janet
