Dirty Martinis and hot Tamales!

Joining the water aerobics class has really improved my social life. Not only do the participants like to have a drink after each class, but on Fridays they often have lunch together.

On the first week, they went to the Dirty Martini Bar (owned by one of our co-exercisers) where the choice of different flavoured martinis was enough to make your head spin.

Last week, a huge pot of tamales was deposited for us in the restaurant in front of the pool. I've heard the expression "hot tamale" but didn't know what was in it and had never had one. It's an interesting concoction of a spicy pork or chicken stew wrapped in corn meal, then in a banana leaf, and steamed.

Personally I enjoyed the filling but found the corn coating rather doughy and heavy.

So, wonder what's in store this week?
