Just another one of his 2 ideas-a big tamale (玉米粉蒸肉) feast after tonight's Christmas Eve service at the church-and look where it landed him: waiting in a line 50 people deep.

He had been driving all over El Paso that morning. 4 to bring home tamales, Carl tried one last shop, an old favorite out in Canutillo. When he arrived, a fresh batch (一炉) was 5 off the steamer in 45 minutes. 6 at the end of the snaking line of tamale-seekers, he watched the woman in front of him 7 her jacket to cover her shivering youngster.

She and her little girl settled in for the long wait. And at 20 noon on Christmas Eve,they delivered four dozen fragrant tamales-along with Carl's brown jacket-to his home. | ||||
