Dee, here's an idea for a desert / pastry :

use some cake flour, egg , milk and butter, mix the batter very thin. make some soft cake tortillias, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

use some fresh fruit bananas , strawberries, kiwi or some pie filling and whipped creme for the filling.


just an idea, thought i'd throw it out there.

Did you ever get your "tamales"? I need to know where to find those, crab cakes, good gumbo, shrimp po' boys, and more!!!

on the westbank, you can find a Tamale stand on the corner of Terry Parkway & Harvard ave.

Try a Nicaraguan style tamale named Nacatamale. They sell them at the Union Supermarket in Kenner for $3.50. I've attached a link below with pic. http://biggestmenu.com/rdr/CA/Azusa/...catamale-37181
