Midway in Katy does them as well, and I have been pleased with them.

I bought the stuff to do my own....just haven't made the time (or built up the nerve) to make them yet!
She bought the available ready to eat tamales.
Granny's tamales in Humble is some of the best I've ever had and I'm a tamale snob.

His reply, "Ma'am, tamales is too much work for a white woman".

It was a disaster that was gonna happen at their home.
It takes a lot of time and practice.
We are making our first batch the first weekend after Thanksgiving.

They looked more like a long and flat Fig Newton.
I'll continue to buy mine from the nice Mexican woman who works for me lol.

Almost always when I picked mine up, they were still hot and rolled a dozen in a pack in foil. I take 'em home and after they've cooled down, I vacuum seal them still in the foil. I have learned that you can just take the tamales out of the freezer and drop them in boiling water for about 30 minutes and they come out perfect every time just like fresh made tamales. (by the way, I do the same with boudin too... vacuum sealed, freezer to boiling, to plate in less than 30 minutes...

Originally posted by SaltwaterSlick View PostCurt, many years ago, my bother and I and our wives got the same "bright idea"... I don't care if the cost was $30/dozen, it's better than makin' 'em yourself!! We got it done and they were very good, but DANG, never again!! Further, by the time we got done (took us 2 solid days), none of us wanted anything to do with a tamale for 6 months!!
We tried it ONE time too! Lol

We need to find a place to get a few dozen and have a arrow slinging session in Hachie !!
