Homemade Ravioli is the Best

 Today my mother and I both decided we were going to make some homemade pasta. It took forever to roll it out but my god it came out really well. The sauce and the pasta itself complemented each other perfectly. Sadly, we didn't have any fresh Parmesan on hand so we had to use the crappy powdered stuff, but it was still good. I wish you could try it.

P.S. Fortunately we have a Pasta Roller if we didn't we would have been there forever.

Tamales Tamales Tamales

Today I went over to my Aunt's house for our annual Tamale making party. It's a tradition of ours. Every year we get together on December 23 to prepare the tamales for our Christmas eve feast. It is an all day process and very tiring. It's typically a girl thing but in recent years my cousins and my brother have been joining us in making tamales due to our shortage in women. Yes we have a shortage in women. I blame the 11 year age gap between my female cousins and I.

But anyway I succeeded in making the Masa float, 2 other hands tried but mine succeeded. My back hurts now.
