Thank you Kathryn.... well send you a box full. ;-0)

And that's my cue to go take a nap!

Welcome back, Kathryn, missed you and your lovelife etc.
Catch you later as busy afternoon,
Lizx

Deanna -- check back to the first page -- there's a link to a good, clear, illustrated recipe there.

If you make some, you can feel free to ship a dozen or so this way!

Okay Kathryn, firstly I hope you enjoyed your time off.. and secondly what are tamales?
And a recipe would be good... ;-0)

Okay, good question -- what is the record for number of suspensions?

I've lost track of mine.

I know I had three for 1 month each. I managed to stick around for a couple of days in between. May hold the record for shortest time between suspensions, anyhow ...

There was one I didn't notice because it was over before I woke up; 12 hours I guess.

And these latest two, served concurrently, one for 3 days and 1 for 4 days, apparently for separate (but essentially identical) posts on the same thread -- although I'm reasonably sure they were for the same post, and imposed by two different company employees.

I don't remember clearly, but I think there was another puny one too. ... Yes, checked, there was.

So who has me beat??

Hee hee. All over cyberspace. ;)

With any luck, all over the desert. With guns!

pure and chaste-----hmmmm - sure you don't mean chased!!!

Nobody wants to listen to No.2 singin' and pickin' the classic tale of star-crossed lovers composed by your own excellent Richard Thompson??

Not a romantic bone in your souls ...

wmsl Kathryn... I'm so pleased I learnt how to c & p from one of the kind people here, lol.

I have sent the link to my hubby and some friends.... it is so funny.

I am very very crabby, but there is absolutely no benefit in it for me, lololol

I am a kept woman, however ;¬)) There must be some benefit in that????

Love

My name, by the way, means "pure and chaste".

How anyone could suggest my posts were anything but ...

Oh, Daff -- why I had to go play elsewhere:

Do not use that source to tell people's horoscopes at GR. Even with askerisks. ;) Or Dick ... or the name that means the same thing ... will report you!

Very good tamale recipe here:

www.sonofthesouth.net/tamales/Tamale_Recipe.htm

It's the one I was going to use -- comes with good clear instructions for the lengthy process, and pictures, because if you've never done them, it's a little difficult to envision.

Basically, it's a spicy chicken/pork mixture (I happened to have both on hand and cooked, but ordinarily I'd just do chicken) in a corn flour dumpling/bun thingy, which is cooked in a corn husk. You spread the batter on the husk, put the meat mixture on that, and roll up the husk and then steam them for a fairly long time.

That recipe makes a big batch, but as it says, it's not something you want to be doing every day. Dang they're good, though. I haven't found a Mexican / Latin American restaurant here that serves them, or I wouldn't even think of making them.

Have googled and am back.... next time you have a holiday, would you make them and send them over, please...... they sound scrummy.

If there is a next time, I mean!

Love

Daff xxx

lovely to see you again Kathryn - seems like no time at all

Ann XX

Morning Kathryn... welcome back!

Still not sure why you had to go and play elsewhere, but as long as you had fun ;¬))



I'm off to google tamales cos I've never heard of them!!

Love

Daff xxxx

~~~~~ Ann!

I'll wave hello more later ...

Seems like I was hardly gone at all, doesn't it? Except for all the hilarity my absence caused in my absence. ;)

Welcome back Kathryn
