'Terrorist activity has caused Hillary Clinton

candidacy for the 2016 presidency. For security reasons she has chosen a Muslim

Seldom Bin Layed
Remember, the last time she had a simple job to do she outsourced it to
Monica Lewinsky~!

Later I went to Grants Pass. I wish I had my big camera with me as the
cloud formations were amazing. One looked like a bear and a lion going head to
head. Another looked like a shark eating another fish! Stopped at Brian's
office. Left him some big red/white/blue beach towels for the kids and Sports
Illustrated magazines and some People magazines for Emily. Then off to Safeway
for essentials, the post office to mail cards, and a stop at the new Haggen
store (formerly Albertson's) on Beacon across from Fred Meyer. I checked out
this one. Had been in the one by Brian's office off Allen Creek. The one by
Brian's office had a John Deere in the produce department. This one has a mamma
cow and a baby cow.
AND........in the bakery they have Snicker's cakes!OMG!!! How horrible is
that!!!!
I had to fight myself to keep from bringing one home. They also have the
single layer version! I did bring home some cranberry orange scones to have with my tea!
Coming down the off ramp into RR suddenly the signal light went off. Good
thing people know what to do and took turns through the intersection. At the gas
station they said they didn't have any electricity so will get gas another time!
On the news it said 5200 were without electricity in Gold Hill through Rogue
River due to a truck and trailer "catching a switch on a power pole". Whatever
that means.
Decided to be creative with dinner so searched the freezer. Got out some
tamales made my "tamale casserole". I normally make it in a 9x13 pan, but this
time cooked it between two 9x9 pans.
12 tamales -XLNT are great for this - (unfortunately I used some homemade
ones I had....can't remember where I got them!)
Remember the song on the ad in the 1950's and 1960's ...†♫♪ ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸
"Ex-a-len-tee tamales .... so good when you are hungry....†♫♪
♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸Ex-a-len-tee tamales! Try one and you will agree. Sí Sí "
1 can black beans, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with lime or chiles, drained
1 can chopped green chiles
1 can creamed corn
1 med onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, sliced
cilantro
grated cheese
1 can sliced black olives
I reconstituted some sliced leeks, garlic, onion, and cilantro.
Steam the tamales, unwrap, cut in half lengthwise, and line the bottom of
the dish with the tamales, meat side up.
Add a layer of cheese and start again so you have two layers. Top with
cheese and olives.
Bake covered 350º for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 30
minutes until bubbling.
Topped mine with sour cream.
Then it was my chair, wine, and TV.
All I know. Happy Saturday. Nuff said. Ciao.
