We had a pretty quite evening on New Year’s eve. Lorena and Kelly made up a batch of 106 tamales. We had several, but word has it that we will freeze most of them for future consumption. We really need to make some green salsa now. Hand made tamales are WAY better with tomatillo salsa. At midnight (NC time) we called the annual Joyce New Year’s party in Oregon on Skype. We very much lament the fact we could not be there. Let me tell you, in our humble opinion, that is the very best New Year’s party in the country.
To make up for it, Christian is going to drive me over to get some gas and then on to McDonald’s for my first Egg McMuffin of the year. Maybe we will go to McDonald’s first because if we don’t get there quick, breakfast will be over! If Lorena does not find out, I might even be able to eat a couple of tamales for breakfast, too. Come to think of it, we ought to stop at Harris Teeter for some tomatillas on the way home. Here are a couple more holiday pictures:

I hope you got your McDonald’s food and your food at home too. Publishing your plan on your blog is a great way to keep it a secret. 🙂
I love the pictures. I cannot believe they made that many tamales!!! You have a beautiful family.
I got all that food and MORE! Don’t tell anyone! Thank you for the wonderful compliments. The tamales are GREAT freezer food. It is a two day (in our household, at least) process to make them, so when Lorena makes them, she makes a BUNCH. Now we are all set for a quick breakfast with tomatillo salsa.
