[Dove]

Its so nice having a man that cooks and is good at it

 

[Dove]

He handles grocery shopping too

 

[Lily]

Hmmm. I've never mixed meats before.

 

[Dove]

Well he hasnt either. He normally uses pork but wr had beef we wanted to use so....mixed them

 

[Lily]

Ok. yeah, we keep them generally keep them separate...

 

[Lily]

What does he use for the "dough"/masa? The stuff in a package?

 

[Lily]

Corn "flour"?

 

[Dove]

Its masa. Its in a bag

 

[Dove]

The bag just says "masa"

 

[Dove]

Its like a flour

 

[Dove]

Is it corn flour? He calls it the tamale dough

 

[Lily]

I was wondering if it was freshly ground. That's what my family buys, not the stuff in a bag.

 

[Lily]

Probably harder to find in MI in any case.

 

[Dove]

And he steams them in corn husks.

 

[Dove]

Its a bag that has "masa" on it. He gets it from an interbational food store

 

[Lily]

It's like a flour right?

 

[Lily]

powdery?

 

[Dove]

Yep. Not as fine as flour

 

[Dove]

But powdery.

 

[Dove]

Its just on a clear bag with a label on it.

 

[Dove]

Its a bit grittier than flour

 

[Lily]

ok...yes, it is

 

[Lily]

We use the ground corn "masa" here's a video

 

[Dove]

And smells like....tamale dough. Lol sorry i dont know how else to describe it

 

[Lily]

But, you probably don't have a place where they grind it. It's sold all over CA

 

[Dove]
