Tamales

We've had an older kid selling Tamales in our neighborhood this past summer, he's probably 20 years old or so. He's been walking the street with a cooler on wheels selling Tamales for a dollar each or four for $5. My neighbor buys them every time the kid comes around and he highly recommends them. I had conjured up an image of a kid and maybe his mom working hard trying to earn some extra cash. Just today a pretty nice looking Mitsubish Eclipse pulled up to my neighbors house and out jumped this kid hawking his tamales. It kind of ruined the illusion I had created.

Well, I'm not sure what to tell you about your illusion...but I can't believe I missed the polling about beets!

A little disheartening for sure. There's nothing better than homemade tomales however, but it would feel better to buy them if he was driving a Ford Pinto. Why is that?
