Costa Rican Tamales Recipe and Video

Okay this recipe is a little complicated so I actually vlogged about it when I was in Costa Rica. I love tamales especially Costa Rican tamales. I grew up eating them and also helping make them.

I remember as a little girl that I was put on tamale duty by my mom and grandmother. I was always in charge of putting the veggies into the tamales. As I grew older, I was put in charge of spicing up the masa (dough) mixture. I have a talent for masa tasting. If you have blah masa, your tamales will suck.

I have 3 videos that will give you the basics on how to make Costa Rican tamales. Now Video 3 sucks balls. I look like a freaking truck ran over me. I have puffier eyes then Joan Rivers after a facelift. I look like I just woke up although I had been up for a while. I had not slept well that night and it shows. Damn I look rough. I am just warning you because it will scare the crap out of you. But I have to post the video to show the whole process and the end product.

See the things I do for my blog. Now for the rest of my life, me looking like hell will be in cyberspace. Dios mio.

Anyway, enjoy the videos.
