Christmas with the Rainones

For the past eight years, I've spent Christmas day with my best friend, her cats, and her family.

Prime rib, cheesy potatoes, salad.

Colombian Christmas

Yesterday my abuelita spent most of the morning preparing the tamales we ate on Christmas Eve.

The tamales have chicken, beef, pork, yellow corn meal masa, peas, carrots, potato, and guiso!

They are cooked slowly in boiling water and served with rice, maduros, and tostones. 

Feliz Navidad!
