Tamale Making Party!!!

Crystal, and her dietician friend Crystal, and I had a tamale making party!!! Crystal (my friend Crystal, not the other dietician Crystal) hosted at her home in Murrietta.
I think we made about 80 of them: beef, chicken, and potato.
Each one was hand tied with corn husks, and then popped into the pot to steam.
I wore my grandmother's apron (Thanks Grandma S!!!) and let Crystal borrow my hawaiian apron.
The other Crystal brought her own apron. Crystal (my friend Crystal, not Crystal's friend Crystal) does not own an apron. How does a modern girl not own an apron?!?!?!
(psst! Guess what I'm getting Crystal for Christmas???? snicker, snicker!)
At long last they were done, and boy were they yummy! Served with a side of refried beans, I could barely eat 4. Thank you Crystal for hosting!!!
