This morning I returned to help with wrapping up the tamales to steam, less complicated and more labor intensive, while chatting with Dona Reina and Flopi, Lidelia's daughter. |We wrapped the rice tamales that I helped prepare, then potato tamales that used the same sauce mixed in with mashed potatoes.

| A spoonful of cooked rice, a chunk of chicken, a slice of bell pepper, and raisins are wrapped in banana leaves |
 |
| Here is the masa for the potato paches |

| Ready for steaming! |
And so concludes my adventure in tamale making. I hope to share the tradition with some of you when I get back!
