family time

I spent a lot of time on the road as a kid. We traveled from Texas to Phoenix every summer. When we lived in Illinois we made that trek from there as well. So many hours in the car. Many hours in the backseat with my sister wishing we had TVs or video games to pass the time.

Tamales are one of those foods I never ate growing up. I never even knew what a tamale was until I moved to Texas in the late eighties. Boy was I missing out.

Have you put your Christmas tree up yet? Are you a go-getter and have it up right away? Or are you more like me and you need a little inspiration to do just that? I have to be in the right frame of mind.
