I've been married for almost 25 years, 2 kids, 2 grandkids. All mexican food! I've also been decorating wedding cakes for over 20 years. Helping mom make the Christmas tamales. Making my very first wedding cake. It was for my sister's wedding, and no one believed I had made it. Last year's Thanksgiving dinner. I was in charge of making the gravy. Instead of corn starch I added powdered sugar.No wonder it wouldn't thicken up after adding more than a cupful!
