A Christmas tradition in Costa Rica is to make pork tamales, and my family lived up to the tradition by making this yummy treat on Christmas Day. However first, I brought a bit of my family's tradition to Costa Rica by making a yummy Christmas morning breakfast of cinnamon rolls and giving out presents. It was a lot of fun sharing Christmas morning with my host family.
Then we went to the grandparent's house and made lots of tamales. In this case, pictures are better than words:
The corn meal cooking until it becomes thick in consistency.

Rolling the tamale.
I am very proud of my tamale making skills!!!!
