Continuing the Tradition!


As many of you know, the Christmas Eve tradition of eating tamales is alive and well with a lot of the Merinos. Well, the Merinos in PA are doing their part to keep it going.

There is a severe shortage of mexican food in State College. We have to travel for an hour to visit a half-way decent restaurant. So this year we decided to try making our own tamales. I have to admit that we are pretty proud of ourselves. After cooking the entire day, we enjoyed a full Mexican meal. Steve made refried beans, mexican rice, and red chili sauce. Carrie made the tortillas (my first lesson was the day after we got married) and we both made the tamales. It was delicious! All the work was worth it because our leftovers lasted for about 3 days!
