阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Once upon a time in my family,the Saturday after Thanksgiving was the start of our annual big tamale (玉米粽子)-making party. We made them to share with friends and neighbors.

Preparation began with Daddy and the cleaning of the corn husks(外壳). First he boiled them and left them in the water overnight. No husk passed inspection without being soft enough for folding. The next day,the rest of us got to work. My brothers and uncles were on hand for cleanup duty. And there was much to clean up as we women prepared the dough (生面团) made of corn. We also prepared the meat for the filling. The dough had to be spread evenly across the husk,and each tamale folded carefully so it would not split open during steaming.

According to the long-standing tradition—at least in my family—no one was allowed to leave the kitchen during the steaming. This could ruin the process. After all,no one wanted a bad tamale!

I thought the family tamale-making party would go on forever,but to continue a family__tradition,you needed to have family. Mine had changed forever. My father,two of my brothers and my uncle died in a short span of time. Mom and I spent months in a state of sad loss. At Christmas friends asked,“Are we going to get tamales this year?” Passing tamales out to friends was one of the great joys of the season,after all. But we couldn’t face it. Eventually,as the years went by,people stopped asking.

One afternoon,just before Thanksgiving,my mother and I pushed an empty shopping cart through the supermarket. I rounded the corner into the next room and found her standing in front of a counter: packages of dough,bags of corn husks,dried spices—all the materials for a perfect tamale. “It’s time,” Mom said. I knew she was right. We set aside a Saturday to spend in the kitchen,just the two of us,alone with our thoughts.
