Tonight’s dinner was Johnny’s Cash Store tamales from our freezer, red chile chicken, green chile chicken, and red chile pork. We had these tonight since we brought home most of our guacamole from Maria’s yesterday (for some reason we didn’t eat as much guacamole as usual), and wanted to use it somewhat soon. We also used the salsa from yesterday and the red and green chile sauces leftover from a week ago (and kept in the freezer). Interestingly the tamales all seemed significantly hotter then when we had them before we froze some. They’ve been in the freezer for about a year and a half, so perhaps the chile seeds worked their magic even while frozen.
The tamales, hot as they were, were enjoyable with half & half made with Stone Brewing’s Porter and Arrogant Bastard Ale. Very rich and full with the spicy tamales. I hope I sleep well tonight after the spicy chile dinner.
