Tamales!

Above, yours truly with the dozen pork tamales.

Ever since I can remember, it had been a New Year's Eve tradition in my family to have a party and have, among other dishes, tamales.

In Gallup, our "gaggle of geezers" group had been buying them by the dozen from Erlinda's Tamale Shop. But this year, Erlinda's decided to not sell in bulk but from a roach coach (lunch truck). 

So, several of us have been searching for a place to buy them in bulk (by the dozen).

Last evening, after Larry Lucier's phyical therapy session, we went to Genaro's restaurant for dinner.

While looking over the menu, I flipped it over to the back side and saw that they sell tamales by the dozen for $20.99/dozen. We notified the others in the group by text.

I decided to buy a dozen pork tamales to try them out. Since Genaro's has good food anyway, we figure that their tamales should be good ones.

I will try some later today.
