I made tamales exactly once. You're right; they were delicious but the time
and effort wasn't worth it. It might be different if I were making them to
sell or had a whole "production line" of people helping me with the process

The big production line (really a party) is called a tamalada:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...ive/2006/12/20
/FDGNVMVOD61.DTL

I went to one, once. It was a blast. Some folks spent the whole day at
it (making the filling) but most came closer to the end. It takes a lot
of people to assemble them.

Why? It's apparently an Mexican and/or American holiday. Why should
the rest of the world know about it? I rather doubt that Chatty
Cathy celebrates it and I've never seen anything about it around here.
Toronto maybe?

But El Indio's food is...I was about to say "awful," but...so bland
and dumbed down to the point of being well suited for feeding
toddlers, that It's hard to see why anyone would eat there when you've
got great Amerimex at Hacienda 3 blocks away, and very good Tex-Mex at
Nacho Mama's (though I'm not personally a fan of Tex-Mex), 5 or 6
blocks away.

One day of the year that I steer way clear of Hacienda is 5-5. Have
you tried the nice green salsa they have in the bar, made with fire
roasted chilies and tomatillos? So good.

The only positive thing about Corona is, at least it's not as crappy
as Tecate. Now Modelo, that's yummy Mexican beer, both the Negra (a
light bodied dark, and what Michelob Amber bock only aspires to be),
and the Especial (a light beer). Modelo and Corona are made by the
same company, but the difference is, quality sells Modelo, whereas
it's advertising that sells the Corona brand. The Especial is
available in cans, and is, IMO, the best canoe trip beer.

It's not all that big of a deal in Mexico either. Independence Day is
the major holiday rather than Cinco de Mayo.

Around here it is a celebration of Mexican culture so lots of food and
drink.

The little gal who teaches classes at the gym didn't know what the
holiday celebrated. She's a first generation American, her parents
having been born in Mexico. There were several others in the class of
Mexican heritage who also didn't know. AAMOF, we Anglos knew more about
the holiday than the Tejanos.

I think the holiday is a lot bigger in Arizona and other places than
here in Texas.

I made them once, too. I don't think eating the tamales was the high
point of the experience. We did it with a group of women and the sharing
of the task while chatting away was so much fun. My friends who have a
Mexican heritage say that the bonding of the women in the family during
the tortilla making process is the primary reason. It is a "cultural
happening" more than a culinary happening.

Mine. There used to be a TV show called "Geraldo". When they brought
it to the west coast now and then for something fresh to help the ratings,
I'd get the call (I'm a camera operator). We did a show or two from
the Mustang Ranch. In a related vein, we also shot at a nudist place out
in Palm Springs.

Bigger than J-Lo's? Besides, forget his ass. His huevos must be big to
sail a 70ft boat around the World. Geraldo may be a lot of things, but wimp

"Rivera has been at this for two years, sailing around the world
with his family since they left Cape Cod on Aug. 1, 1997.
That was thousands of miles ago, though Rivera hasn't been under
sail continuously. He does have a day job. No, it's been a ketch as
ketch can kind of trip. Right now, the Voyager is docked in Australia
awaiting Rivera's arrival for another leg of the journey.
``I actually came to the Travel Channel,'' he said, explaining the
two one-hour specials that make up ``Sail to the Century.'' The first
half is supposed to be shown in December, and the New Year's Eve
climax will be televised sometime next year."

But it wasn't about me, and it's not about you.

It's about the fact that Rivera is a headline grabbing asshole who has a
hero complex. Probably happened after he got his nose broken.

When I worked with him he was in excellent shape, so your comment was a
surprise.

As for patootness, all I can say is he was fine to work with.
