A quick word from our “Eastern Bureau”…..

Tamale_festival_flyer_f1_3 That would be Ed from Yuma:

"Guess where I will be on Dec 15."

"You also might want to announce the festivities at the
blog. After all, now’s the time to come to the Yuma
area. Plus the chance to taste 20 different vendor’s
tamales is unprecedented, at least in my experience.
Also what could be a more traditional food for Xmas? I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward.

Somerton is between Yuma and the border."

This is something called "The Gobbler"($5.99) from Sandwich Emporium. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and potato salad(!), on "stuffing bread". All you need is some gravy! It actually tastes pretty good. I’ve been told it’ll be available through Xmas.

Have a great weekend!
