I honestly don't know what made me think of making them in the first
place. This would have been 20 years ago. One day I just got it into
my head to try to make tamales. So I did. Yes, time consuming.

I still have an unopened package of dried corn husks in the pantry.
It's moved around with me over the years. (Obviously I didn't know what
quanity I'd need.) Maybe one day I'll make them again.
