Hello everyone! My name is Lisa Amaya. I'm a 30 some year old mom to one son. My blog is about my life, entertainment, current events, people and events in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, etc. My blog will also feature pieces about Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and surrounding areas in New Mexico. I also hope to include more travel blog posts. Guest bloggers will also contribute from time to time! I've been a writer since I was 6 years old. I graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in journalism. I've written for various newspapers and magazines. I plan on focusing more of my time on blogging and freelance writing. I took a five-year break from writing but I'm back at it! Thank you for stopping by and welcome!

  3. I can just about imagine being persuaded to bungee jump if it involved some kind of nice treat at the end for my bravery and something very, very soft underneath.

  7. You’re welcome! 🙂 Congratulations! Happy New Year! My grandma told me about cod liver oil. It didn’t sound so tasty. They let you bungee jump in Las Vegas so maybe one day. A former co-worker did it and said it felt liberating.

  9. Congratulations on the (twin) awards. Thank you too for the nomination. I’m very flattered to receive it, although I must admit that I’m so disorganized I tend to have a rather poor record on following up on awards, although I’m delighted to be asked.

    I was very interested to read about the worst thing you ever did. Giving another kid a fish candy doesn’t sound so bad in the scale of evil actions to me, although I guess it might depend on how bad it tasted. I may be a little biased, though. When I was a child, my mother used to give me cod liver oil drops, which kids are supposed to hate but I actually loved. My brother used to secretly give me his one too.

    I also admire your bravery in even contemplating the possibility of skydiving. There’s nothing that would ever induce me to do it (except possibly vast amounts of money).

    I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year season. 🙂

  20. Congratulations! I don’t know if I could ever jump from an airplane. I have a friend that jumps every year on her birthday. The good thing is that until you reach a certain number of jumps you jump with a partner. She loves it. Thank you for the nomination 🙂

  27. LOL. I’ve heard of the bean tamales but I’ve never tried them. It sounds pretty good! I’ve never heard of the sweet corn tamales. Some Mexicans make tamales out of mole. I don’t like mole.

  28. Oh yes, pineapple…they used that too…been way to long since I have made tamales….I made some with refired beans and cheese and green sauce…toatally vegetarian…I thought they were yummy….I Spanish friends thought I had committed tamale blasphemy….LOL they also make some sweet corn tamales with sugar in the masa and whole corn added too…yummy…I tried to replicate it by using creamed corn to the masa and cheddar cheese in the middle…not a good combo…LOL

  29. Oh wow that’s interesting! It sounds good! We always use corn husks. The red have pork and chile. The green are chicken, cheese and green chile. The sweet have raisins, coconut, pecans and strawberries. This was the first year we added strawberries. It was SO tasty. Some people add pineapple but we didn’t.

  30. Thanks for taking on the tamale calories for me..LOL they did a masa with chicken, green olives and boiled potatoes cut up In a green chili sauce and some with boiled shredded beef in a red sauce…the sweet were always raisin, cinnamon and a custardy one…the banana leaves leaves them a little to moist for me, and a different flavor added to them…I prefer corn hands down…

  31. My grandma said the same thing. Everyone does it their own way. The tamales you used to make sound different. What would you include in them? Christmas was great here! I’m glad yours was fun! Believe me, I had several tamales for you! 🙂
