It feels like all of last week was taken up with one thing, my youth groups Tamale Fundraiser.  Our Church's kitchen is still under construction, so we made the tamales in my kitchen.  Here's some of the photos:

Masa Harina.. is messy

Do you know how much taco meat this pan will cook?

19 pounds.

These two get a little loopy after working in the kitchen all day.

Really..

We had already thrown away most of the butter carcass' before this photo was taken.

Here's the line of people getting their food.

This hand (#1) is an expert at tamale steaming… but don't ask her to steam yours.. because she only works for me.

It was a fun.. weird day. Today was the Tamale Roll for tomorrow’s 1st annual Tamale Fundraiser for the Youth Mission Stay. I haven’t blogged about the Mission Stay.. (just wait until August 2nd- 7th) But here’s an overview.

Instead of going somewhere for a Mission Trip the Middle School and High School youth groups are going on a Mission Stay. We are “staying” here where we live, and serving our community for a week.

We met at a friends house to rolled the tamales. We made Chicken and Beef. Here’s what we did… in photos of course!

Here’s the shredded beef, with the masa and corn husks.

Here’s the shredded grilled chicken, masa and corn husks.

The girls are really serious about rolling their chicken tamales.

The beef rollers seem serious.. but they really were not.

Maybe it was the paper flowers in the middle…

Here’s the Beef.. all steamed and ready to go..

Chicken.. ready to do their job… feeding the tired, poor masses yearning to eat some tamales.

Rolling the Tamales.. makes the girls tired…

** For those of you wanting the recipe for some Tamales.. I will try to post it tomorrow in the “cooking” section.
