Tamales

Could the difference in texture of the dough be from adding very fresh corn, rather than from a difference in texture of the dry corn meal? I'm thinking that corn "milk" is almost like adding fine corn starch... source

We make our tamales the day before Christmas Eve. On Thanksgiving there is nothing like the old tradition of ham and turkey and all the fixins! source

I've seen tamales at a couple of places where you can buy 10 of them for under a dollar each. I think sacramento bakery was one, not sure if they are still around. source

Well, I do know the corn husk isn't supposed to be eaten under any circumnstances. Dunno what effects it could cause you, but if you have a weak stomach then yes, you should probably check a doctor. source

I doubt that this is that serious, but keep in mind there are plenty of non-lethal self-defense options out there besides buying a gun. I mean, you could get some mace or even a taser for your wife. Both of those will probably stop this guy if he tries something. With a bonus of not, you know, killing him and not killing either of you by accident. source
