Got the Cooking Started

[Radtexan]

Spent last night on some of the cookies and deserts..Wife did most of it... I spent all evening on 20 dozen Spritz cookies.

Christmas eve we usually do a Mexican theme,,,no different this year.Today Ive got the tamales " in process"pork is slow backing getting ready to be pulled..later this evening(after a big family outing at the bowling alley) me and Mrs Rad will spear the masa and commence to rolling them.

The pasole is popping , getting ready to get the meat and other ingredients added for a long slow cook.. House sure smells good right now.

Christmas day will be a traditional one,for a change....Big ole spiral ham and all the fixings...But Ill save that for Tues am..
