Great looking Tamales you made there! I could put a load of those down. I love me some tamales. Did the smokiness of the pork come through in the finished product?

Oh crap! One more for the to do list. Those look delicious!

For the masa make a stock from the bones and add to the masa instead of  just spice. Also whip the masa till a little dab will float in water this is what I do.(sorry couldn't figure out how to directly respond to your quote) I just noticed it looks like i said to use the bones from the smoke i'm not sure that  can be done but you can always use pork neck or chicken neck using garlic and salt, onion.

Fester,

Just click on the word "Quote, at the bottom of the post made by whoever you want to reply to.

Then just type below the post they made, which comes up in the reply box, highlighted in gray.

The rest is like a normal post.

If you want to reply to more than one person at one time, click on "Multi" at the bottom of each of their posts, and then click  "Quote" on one of them. That will cause all of them to come up in the "Reply" Box for you to deal with.

Hope that's what you needed.

I don't like my meats to be too smokey so it was pretty mild but yes - it did come through.

I did use stock which helped.

I have actually made stock from hickens I have smoked and it has turned out well.

I'm salivating looking at these.  Did you make the chili sauces or use prepared?

Either way, they look amazing!
