Harina Definition
Version 1.0 of the tamales didn't come out very well as a result of my lack of Spanish vocabulary. The recipe called for Masa Harina and Mary saw the word Harina on the bag, so without thinking I blazed ahead... As it turns out 'Harina' means flour and without 'Masa' (corn), you get regular wheat flour... of course if we read closer it says that in English on the bag! ;-)
