Y lo que va bien con los tamales es el atole
And what goes well with tamales is atole
My kids are prone to slipping with tradition. El abuelso (the grandfather) is stodgy about remembering culture. A lot of the fun of being in Mexico is following the average traditional diet.
Sweet tamales tamales de elote are especially good on a chilly winter morning. A few of those puppies and a frothy cup of chocolate de la abuela with a stick of canela cinnamon will build the steam up for an active day.
The kids were nuts about pan dulce until grandfather whipped up a batch of bear claws. Have to be more careful about that. When the girls see smoke coming from the adobe oven (el horno) they know baking is in process in the morning. Roasting coffee beans is an afternoon obra (job)
