The Tamale Lady

By: Mr. Wilson on July 20, 2006
Does anybody remember the tamale lady? The Missus was telling me last night that when her family first came to Lincoln (circa 1992), they used to buy homemade tamales from a woman at Russ's on 33rd and Highway 2. But there was a catch: the tamale lady was a secret. She quite literally sold her goods out of the back of the store, and only at specific times. She quickly sold out to her regulars. Then one day the tamale lady disappeared without explanation. Russ's employees only said "She doesn't work here any more" when asked about her. Does anybody remember the tamale lady? What happened to her?

I’m sure the health inspector got involved.

We had an enchilada lady in the town we lived in in Kansas.  Great enchialads!  Wish we could find one here.

Anybody have a good enchilada recipe?
