Wow. I am so amazed by all the comments over the past three days. Y’all shared some fantastic memories, and I felt honored to read each of them.
I wish I could give everyone just a little something (and maybe I will get to do that someday, when I’m rich and famous), but alas, the package goes to one winner.
And he/she is….
Melodie! The commenter who ate turkey tamales wrapped in foil as a child, even though neither of her parents were Mexican.
Melodie, you’ll receive the sweets package from La Nicolasa. I’ll email you directly using the email address you provided in the comments.
Thanks again to everyone for playing.
It was so much fun to read everyone’s comments — that was prize enough to me. Thanks, Leslie, for a good idea that gave us all shared memories.
Congratulations to Melodie!

Congratulations Melodie! Nice prizes you are getting!
I love your memory and what a great idea for turkey leftovers.
Congratulations, Melodie! And thanks, Lesley, for a fun contest and for a peek into so many memories.
WOW.
THANKS, Lesley! I’m very surprised to win, as I almost never leave comments on blogs (in fact, this was the first time this foodie has ever commented on a food blog), but as soon as I read your question about Mexican food memories, Day After Thanksgiving Tamales popped into my head and I became very curious about what kinds of memories other people had. What fun!
I’m VERY excited and curious about the goodies in the prize package. By nature, I’ve always been adventurous about food, and I can’t wait to try new things. Thanks again!
Just wanted to let you know that the prize package arrived safely. THANKS AGAIN!
Great! I’m glad it arrived in one piece. Thank you again for commenting!
