I got a tamale at the Vons deli for a dollar, as
I miss the homemade tamales made by my friends' mothers back in
Arvin. "That's a hot tamale!" Um, anyway, the tamale comes, as tamales
do, in a corn husk, but it was also wrapped in plastic, and when I got
it the deli lady wrapped it in a plastic bag. Too much packaging for
one poor tamale! The tamale is in the microwave right now, and I'm
about to go get it and bring it in here and eat it. It's not too bad,
although I prefer the ones with olives and stuff in them. Who am I
fooling? Nobody cares about my tamale. And now my tamale is eaten,
and its sad tale is over.
