I Forgot to Brag...

...about my third daughter, Mallory, who got a 100% on her mid-term exam in Organic Chemistry. She studied long and hard for this exam. Anyhow, she's been walking around alternately whistling the tune and sporting a grin on her face like the guy in the Enzite (spelling??) commercial.

...about my second daughter, Meeghan, who made 12 dozen meat and red chili, and 12 dozen green corn tamales (filled with cheese and green chilis). Without parental supervision. AND chilis rellenos, and chicken flautas. I'd be able to brag a little more if she'd overnighted some to me. I don't know how she found the time to do that plus sew geisha, vampire, and doggie costumes for my three granddaughters.

Okay, I'm done. I know it can be boring to listen to bragging. But tamales...they are a food group all their own. Our family in Arizona has been making them as long as anyone can remember. Not hard to make, but very time-consuming, and more enjoyable to do when you have the whole family gathered around the kitchen table.
