The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |

Mayans didn't use lard in their tamales. change anything in this
recipe and haven't tried it yet, but it looked like it should be
shared! The recipe apparently comes from "Americas First Cuisines"
