Can you please tell me what kind of knife that is and what are the benefits and drawbacks to it vrs a plain ol chef knife. Thanks and love your enthusiasm!

[ZombieGate]

Its a Wusthof chef knife. It works great but I don't think there are really any benefits to it other than personal preference. You can probably side scoop more veggies with it.

My tamale dough mix is really watery and I followed your directions exactly. Are the measurements on the dough mix off? I have to keep adding more masa.

[ZombieGate]

Not sure why, just add more till you get the consistency in the video.

I have the same blender!

[ZombieGate]

It's a great blender. :)

[ZombieGate]

No, I would never eat the flesh of an animal again. I don't consider it food like I once did as a child. It's repulsive to me.

[ZombieGate]

But at least they aren't living their whole lives in misery on some crowded factory farm. They live their life free to do as they please until a superior predator takes it from them...

Nice, I have been wanting to make my own tamales since getting these spinach ones at a farmer's market.
