We went back to all the houses we did so the guys could finish the porches. At one I got to see women making and cooking tortillas over a made-by-hand stove with fire under a metal surface. First they take a little ball of masa and slap it around, pinch the edges, slap some more and then lay it on the hot surface. When cooked, they are put in a bowl in a circular shape.
Then to top it off, I saw a woman making what I think were banana leaf tamales. Wow! I felt honored to see that.
