Y-U-M-M-M

Last night when I posted something new, I had full intentions of passing on a great recipe and forgot! Here 'tis.

Chile Rellenos Casserole

15-ounce can whole green chiles
(I used all of a 24 ounce can. YUMMMMM)
1 pound Monterey Jack
(I had on hand shredded Jack and Chedder....'Nother YUMMM)
2 tablespoons flour
(Makes it really good. A must use.)
4 tablespoons butter

1 dozen eggs
(I am a chicken farmer now and have them on hand. Gotta use them somehow.)
12-ounce can evaporated milk

Grease a 9X11 inch casserole dish.
(Mine was a bit smaller. I think I will use that from now on,
I liked the way it puffed up and was thicker than in the past)
Remove the seeds
(un-necessary. Green chiles are not hot to begin with and we
never even noticed the seeds at all)

Slice the cheese (if you are not using the grated kind)into 1/4 inch slices. Layer the green chiles, then the cheese in the casserole dish. Sprinkle flour and butter on top then add another layer of green chiles and cheese. (No more flour)

In a large mixing bowl, (I used my blender) mix the eggs and the evaporated milk. Pour this mixture over the casserole.

Bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hour. Top with olives, green onions or avocado slices. Can be served with sour cream, salsa or enchilada sauce. Makes 12 servings. HA!
#1 Child and I were the only ones at my dinner table (A couple of sickies in the family right now) and we ate HALF of the whole thing. Of course, we didn't eat any salad or anything else. Just UMMMed and YUMMed over the whole thing. Little Piggies Us.

I have put this on my table many times and it is alway a hit. When the rest of the gang are here and the egg supply builds up again, I will make two casseroles.

Did I say YUMMMM? Love that stuff.

We are on the other side....of Summer

We are over the hump! We made it through another Summer. We have been having cool mornings and almost cool evenings. Nice.

I was just sitting on my back porch and thinking about you. I have not had anything to share for several days. I have been busy working on a sweater I am going to name: IMAGINATION GONE AMUCK. I have a large wicker basket into which I throw various balls of yarn left after finishing projects and I decided to make a crocheted sweater out of those many colors. It makes me thing of Joseph's Coat of Many Colors or Dolly Parton's coat of the same name. I have had so much fun with it, it is a riot of colors. When one ball of yarn runs out, I simply attach another color, helter skelter. I will take a picture and share it when it is finished. I have enough (more than enough) to make another one and may do that very thing.

While sitting on my back porch thinking of you, I was listening to people come home from work. Living on a dirt, washboard road, I first hear a rumble. Makes me think of the song, "Wabash Cannonball" I hear the melody in my head. I believe the first line of the song goes, "Listen to the whistle, the rumble and the roar". I hear those, mostly pickups, coming nearer and then I can see them over the Creosote bushes and cactus. There are a greater percentage of pickup truck out here than than auto's. It is so nice to think that I also am on the other side of the hump. I don't have to do that commute and seldom ever have to have done it. I have been blessed with a husband who, through God, has allowed me to stay home and just be a home maker. I have always and always will love that title. Home maker. That is me!
