If you read this at all...

I assume "hot tamale" is singular for "hot tamales"

but probably not. I hope it has nothing to do with sweat.

Hot Tamales is a chewy, cinnamon flavored, oblong- shaped candy introduced in 1950. It is manufactured and marketed in the United States by Just Born...
According to Wikipedia.

That is great but I still don't know what it is or tastes like since I am not from.the States, never been there and big chance I never will.

I had two sons in law from the States. One of them brought a suitcase or sent a box full of American items to chew on to my daughter. To be honest we never saw so many unnatural coloured food and except for the M&M's available in way more tastes as in the Netherlands it was not our taste. It completely tasted different and that also explains why he always left with a suitcase full of Dutch cookies and candies to the USA.

There is not much more I can say about it. I guess we eat what we are used to or are (like Archie Bunker said and many over here). Not much if it comes to me. I am still on a diet and am busy. Figuring out things, hoping for an answer that probably will never come.

Lately, I do not feel so great/home on Steemit. No matter how many hours a day I invest in engaging it does not work. I am seriously thinking about slowing down or perhaps even quit. It is a long time ago I wrote a story, something I really like and if the question remains: who will read it?
Do we still have time to tead and commment to upvote?
And if it comes to upvotes... how come most votes became, even at 100%, zero?
It all beats me and searching for answers is exhausting. It all consumes so much time.

This is my entry to the daily freewrite with the prompt Hot tamale. See @mariannewest.
