    HELL YES . . . love it girl . . . your style is like my mom. She never ever measured ingredients . .she kinds knew what was needed . . more garlic . . more salt . . . less jalapeno . . stuff like that . .every batch of food was unique based on availability of ingredients and mood . . . so I like this dynamic spirit you put into your recipes.

I've made all your tamale recipes & your barbacoa....which is to die for! It's the best barbacoa I've ever had. I freeze my cooked tamales, so on Sunday morning we have the works: barbacoa, tamales, chicharones, pico de gallo, avocado, salsa & Big Red! Cant' have barbacoa without Big Red! Lol. It's the law around these parts! Lol
