It got all of my surviving chile plants, even the ones in my patio..way bummer! I busy making a big pot of Posole and Red Chile sauce to fend off the cold. I was lucky to get a batch of Tamales from a co-worker (actually his Mom made them). That's just way too much work for me... I like to cook but I'm not going to try and make tamales by myself again.
