Pursuit of Happiness: Making Tamales


(1) pan-roasted corn, delicata squash, string beans, tomatoes, peas, potatoes, carrots, scallions and garlic seasoned with smoked sea salt, oregano, cumin, red chili flakes and lime juice; chopping vegetables is better than any sedative.
(2) meseca flour is not like corn meal; rolling tamales is like rolling maki.
(
3) beautiful bundles of dough and pan-roasted vegetables in a lovely corn husk sheath. i no longer have to pine for the pasteles gifts from my washington heights neighbors.
(4) making tamales in pursuit of happiness. powerful tamales! food is a powerful way to connect with spirit and others. showing off my tamale and blue mani.

are you happy?
