missing masa
these lily of the valley leaves look all ready for a little dollop of masa, wrapped around a little spoonful of braised and spiced pork shoulder, and steamed. unfortunately, unlike corn husks, every part of the lily of the valley plant is toxic. so i will not be making tamales of them. i will just be dreaming of tamales for a while.

Damn ! Now I am going to have to go out for lunch today. Thankfully Santa Fe has many a good tamale joint
