So, I'm trying to order vegetarian tamales for decemberween. The
newspaper ad says "place your order 2 days in advance" I figure with
the holidays, I should go ahead and order now to pick up on Saturday.

So I call & say I'd like to place an order for tamales and the guy
says they're not making any more & they only have 1 dozen vegetarian.
I wanted 2 doz, and I wanted them freshly made, not made whenever and
then sitting in my fridge for 4 days.

I don't know if there was a language barrier, if the guy thought I
was asking what he had on hand right then, or if there really won't
be any more tamales available after Xmas. (always a possibility,
since they're a traditional Texas Xmas thing)

Feh.

I guess I'll go by Whole Foods and/or Central Market to check out
their tamale selection. Maybe Mr. Natural, too.

*sigh*
