Finally --a week later I am back! It was one week of absolute desperation and dispair over a stupid new computer that I could not get to work! Finally after 2 more miserable, disgusting hours at Best Buy - they resolved all of the problems and after the purchase of a new printer - I am back in business! I printed the Pilot Light,that I edit once each month for the Pilot Club, in about half the time it has taken in the past!
How is everyone? I had a great day at work -- I won't give details but one of my customers that I had defended as honorable, but having had some terribly bad luck due to the down turn of the economy came in with a large check to pay off one of his loans proving I knew he was honorable and would pay as soon as he could. A great recovery for him and me!!!
I am cooking for Wednesday night meal at Church this week and have been busy gathering my supplies and getting prepared. I think it will turn out to be good - how can you go too wrong when you are having Sopapilla Cheesecake for dessert? (Recipe is posted on March 7, 2010!) You know though - sometimes what you think is a very simple and easy meal turns out to be very expensive!
I've not been cooking at home hardly any the past couple of weeks - I was so wrapped up in the computer problems and we always are running so late, and I must say my sweet husband has been more than considerate and not complained. I have several meals I want to prepare and hopefully by next week I will be back on track!
Have you ever cooked with Blue Corn meal? I haven't, but in Santa Fe, the restaurant we ate lunch at brought out each of us a Blue Corn muffin and it was out of this world -- so we looked and looked until we found packages of blue corn meal and it even had the recipe!! Can't wait to try it and let you know if it is as good as the one we had!
I am going out of town this weekend - I am sorry to miss the wedding this weekend - actually there were two wedding invitations that were 1 hour apart and miles apart - both weddings I would love to attend - impossible as it would have been! I have had this little trip planned for several weeks and it was the only week that it could be arranged - so - on my way, I plan to stop at Penzey's --so if anyone is still reading and would like for me to bring them anything - just call or email me and let me know!
Today I was shocked - yes - as old as I am (and no I am not telling) I am still shocked at some peoples behavior. I was told about a friend of someone at work who has become re-acquainted with someone she knew in high school over the internet and then by phone. Now he is going to come pick her up and they are going to fly to some island for-- a reunion I suppose or it sounded more like a love-in.. One of the kickers is she said since she is a Christian they are going to have a "Common law marriage" so they can have all the romance they want and then if it doesn't work out - well it will be ok! Oh by the way - she has already been married twice! How can so called Christians twist the truth of the scriptures to just fit whatever they want! I know Jack Paul when he preached would say, "There is no "the Bible says it, buttttttttt!" IF God said it -- there is no "butttttttt!"
I am not much on casseroles - I often equate them to "lazy" but lots of people really like them! Sometimes something comes around that sounds really good -- this one does!
COMPANY CASSEROLE (from the GREEN CHILE BIBLE)
4 Tbs. cooking oil
1 large onion, diced
1 mediun bell pepper, finely chopped
1 (10 oz.) can tomatoes
1 (10 oz. can tomatoes and green chiles (like Rotel)
1 can (10 oz.) green chiles seeded and coarsely chopped
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
12 corn tortillas
2 Cups mild cheddar cheese
1 Cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet saute' the onion and green pepper in the cooking oil. Add the next four ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.
Cut the tortillas into quarters and fry them lightly in hot oil. In a large casserole, place a layer of tortilas and top with part of the hot tomato and chile mixture. Sprinkle with part of the cheese. Repeat the layers and top with sour cream. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes.
Serves 8.
Sounds really good as an appetiser, but I think it would need a couple of cloves of garlic sauted with the onion and bell pepper. If you try it - I would be interested in what you think!!!
More to come! Have a blessed day tomorrow and make it a day where you bless someone!
