Last Fall I made some homemade beef tamales after watching
the ATK (or was it Cook Country?)episode. A bit labor
intensive but darn tasty. The only mistake I made was
a bit too much salt as I used regular table salt instead
of Kosher salt.

I went to the local Mexican market and bought my corn
husks. The clerk was very helpful in which brand to
use.
