THANKSGIVING TAMALE CONTROVERSY

 So what's a holiday family meal without a little controversy? Well this year the discussion was about the tamales. 

The long standing purchase of tamales for the entire extended Dewey family (including the branch that currently resides in VA) is to dine on tamales from Delicious tamales. 

We have always driven all the way into downtown San Antonio and purchased several dozen at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have packed them in our luggage and taken them on an airplane to VA more than once. They indeed live up to their name. 

This year, however, a new company has come to town. Delia's Tamales, has an outstanding reputation from folks who grew up in the valley and therefore grew up with these tamales. Needless to say, they were thrilled when Delia's "opened shop" in San Antonio.

Now, I have NEVER eaten a tamale I didn't like. We ate tamales from Delia's this year and by tonight (Saturday), only a few are left out of the four dozen we purchased. So, obviously, everyone liked them.

 Makes me hungry just to look at this picture. 

 

ALMOST THANKSGIVING 2020

 Everything is different this year.... for all of us. 

We do have a turkey and a ham and all the other foods for traditional Thanksgiving meal. 

Another family tradition is to have Mexican food on Thanksgiving eve. We are prepared for that one too, except for purchasing the tamales on Wednesday morning. 

The difference this year will be that both meals will be eaten outside in front of the house so that we can include the part of our family that lives next door

These will be our newest additions to this year's celebration.

                                                  More about these little terrors later!

 It's a grey, cool and damp morning outside. Good day for computer work. However, we do have orders to get out to customers, so we will be out in the shop in a little while! This was Philip, yesterday working in shorts.  A little too cool for that today!
