May Your Life Be Deliciosa
Each year on Christmas Eve, Rosie's abuela, mamá, tía, sister, and cousins all gather together in abuela's kitchen to make tamales—cleaning corn husks, chopping onions and garlic, roasting chilis, kneading cornmeal dough, seasoning the filling, and folding it all—and tell stories. Rosie learns from her abuela not only how to make a delicious tamale, but how to make a delicious life, one filled with love, plenty of spice, and family.
