Soul warming winter food......

I am a big Tamale fan.
My mom makes them every fall.

OP I am mexican and I have never heard of that stew you talk about lol.
We have to steam the rest of the tamales that are in the freezer, Ernestina likes making them over the Holidays. My father in law is from Oaxaco, most of his family still lives there. This is not Ernestinas way of making it but........http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/albondigas_soup/...
