Ok, here's an idea in anticipation of Cinco de Mayo...

Tamale Casserole
Anyway, I used a 9x13 pan and 12 tamales. I think 3-6 would work fine, depending on the pan you find to fit them.
12 XLNT tamales (steamed for about 5 min) or use any other tamale of your choice (this recipe makes XLNT tamales GOOD!)
1 can black beans , rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes with lime, drained
1 can diced green chilies
1 can creamed corn
1 med onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, sliced
cilantro
grated cheese
1 can black olives, each cut in half ..or a can of sliced black olives...

(there is enchilada sauce in this picture, but I didn't need to use it)
Unwrap steamed tamales and cut each in half. Line the bottom of the dish with the tamales, meat side up....

Next, mix all the canned goods and add the garlic and cilantro (I used a cap full) and spread half on top of the tamales.

Then add a layer of cheese and start the layers again so you have two layers.
Top with cheese and olives.

Bake covered 350º about 30 minutes, remove foil and bake another 30 minutes (until bubbling throughout)....

This dish is AWESOME!

Dinner was Omaha Steaks Pub Style Cod, baked potato, spinach with a drizzle of olive oil and garlic salt. Tarter sauce was Trader Joe's (Mmmmmmmm)  ....

Brothers and Sisters Day
(These photos taken some time ago....)
Brian me Kristen Aaron Jerry:

Brian's Tucker and Sami:

Brothers and Sisters Day is a day to cherish your siblings. Sure, there are times when you love your brothers and sisters. And, there's times when you want to disown them. All in all, having a brother and/or a sister or two, is invaluable. The older you get, the more you learn to appreciate them.
Celebrate Brothers and Sisters Day by touching them in some way.  A card or a phone call is appropriate for those who are separated by too many miles. A visit, or sharing a meal together, is a great way to enjoy this special day.  
Don't have a brother or sister? Become a "Big Brother" or Big Sister". Chances are, there is an organization in your area. And, they need your help.
Brothers and Sisters Day is similar to National Sibling Day, held on April 10th.
