I should own stock in ThermoWorks. I have soooooo much of their stuff.

I'm with you there...
2 Smokes
1 Time Stack
1 ThermaPen
1 Chef Alarm
1 ThermoPop
1 IR Gun

Can't quite justify buying the ThermaPen One right now, but probably will at some point.  ::)

I will have to look, but I am pretty sure I can top that with my collection.  I delete every sale e-mail I get now without even opening it.  I need to sell some of my stuff.

That doesn't count the ones I bought my sons and grandson, which would another 5 to the list.

Here is a picture of a tamale made from the heirloom red corn masa. This one is somewhat of a mutant, which is what to expect when you have a big gang to teach how to create the tamales.

My conclusion is the same as with tacos and enchiladas. I prefer the white corn masa since it has a milder taste.

I did the chili rellenos. I couldn't find pablano peppers, so I had to use Anaheim. Anaheim are not as wide so they are not as easy to stuff, but they are considered a good alternative.

I made one error. You need to blacken the peppers and remove the skin. I overcooked them, making them too soft. The pepper fell apart.

That made stuffing and coating difficult, but I made it work. They turned out tasting great. Once coated and deep fried, you could not see the flaw.

Next time I will heat the peppers over a burner instead of in my broiler. I added a picture of the workspace used the make them. It's a messy job.

I think I will be able to get more cheese inside, and a thicker outer coating if I don't overcook the peppers.

Next on the list for this afternoon is enchiladas.

I have not had tamales or the rellenos. Looks like something I may look at trying the next time we go to the mexican place we go to. I may go donw the dreaded YT rabbit hole and look for recipes and how tos.

A good beef tamale with a nice sauce is hard to beat.
