The wife is from Zwolle on the shore of Toledo Bend .......... Home of the Zwolle Tamale festival.
Go there often, sister and BNL had camp there. Now I go to fish with neighbor, camp is 1 mile from Bub Ts tamale shop, currently have 3 dozen in freezer! Love em'. Sad to say, I've only passed through Kentucky for work, beautiful state.
If your wife still has her mom's tamale recipe, I'd be happy to trade any recipe I've got for it.

Are you referring to Ron Guidry(Louisiana Lighting)
70/80s pitcher for the Yankees?
The one and only. I've been a big Yankee fan my whole life, and I believe he was from the Layafette area.

Hello from Louisiana. New to forum, excited to learn new things and how everyone drives their smokers.
I've been smoking for about 5years, but still use a charcoal pit with fire box. Too much work! Getting material together to build a bigger more user friendly model.
You folks have some Awesome smokers!
Welcome, From SE Florida.
 
Most of the old folks who made and sold tamales around Zwolle have quit (or died) and what you get from those selling them now are nowhere as good. The wife used to come back with dozens upon dozens in coolers when she goes to see her mom. Not so in the last few years.
Yep or on Saturdays they'd be the Lil vendors on side of the road selling them out a van or something with boiled peanuts or fresh shrimp. You don't see that as much.

Welcome from just this side of the Sabine River. In the last 10 years I have spent many a day in your wonderful state. Heck I worked in Hackberry for a bit and Plaquemine. Even lived in Carlyss for 3 of those years. Louisiana is good peeps and I will fight anyone that says otherwise.
