Recipe
This is a King Ranch Casserole, which is a kind of spicy Mexican type food.

King Ranch Casserole/Mexican Casserole
3 Chicken breasts .. cooked, boned , cut into bite sized pieces.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can (10oz) Rotel or Red Gold (diced tomatoes & green chilies)
1 pkg corn tortillas (cut in quarters) a dozen is more than enough.
1 medium onion diced (chopped) 
1/2 lb or (a bit) more grated cheddar cheese 



Mix soups and Rotel  Tomatoes in a bowl.
In a greased 9x13 casserole dish layer chicken at bottom, soups , cheese, onions, tortillas. Layer again... until all ingredients are used. End with cheese on top with onions. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.  Place in oven for 1 hour. Enjoy!  (Note:  I put salt and pepper and/or creole or cajun spices on the chicken and bake it for a while so the chicken is more flavorful, then cut it up.  I use chicken breast for this).

Thought For The Day
A clever person solves a problem.
A wise person avoids it.
--Albert Einstein

Yesterday was an interesting day.  It featured birds and indians.  Each of those held a long piece of wood in their claws/hands and tried to hit a round thing flying through the air.  Every once in a while "smack" went the stick and the round thing flew through the air, landing sometimes in a leather clutch of another bird or indian. 

Sometimes the round thing landed on the ground and sometimes in far away places.   The birds were able to run around a bunch of places more than the indians, but those injuns gave it their all.  They were swinging and a runnin but the pretty little fillies, who live down by the pond, stomped their feet upon the injuns to beat them down.

Those fillies made those injuns go longer than was usually necessary so everyone was tired and it sure showed.  Long into the night, with both the indians and the fillies fighting it out.  The birds had an easier time so they were sitting on their branch watching and cooing on the fillies.

Now it comes to being wild.  It's well known that being wild gets you nowhere.  Since the birds don't have to mess with the injuns any longer, they better settle down on their skinny bird legs and start streaking and a beaking their way through or they will fly to the wild bird yawnder.

If you like birdies....clap once.  If you don't, stay quiet.  Birdies do better with lots of noise....so let's raise the branch and clap a lot.  And hope those birdies don't fly far from the perch. 

(in case you're not a baseball fan....this relates to the Cardinals run for the right to play for the pennant)



You take the "g" out of things, the whole thing becomes something else.  Perhaps an employee with a grudge, if the employee still works there!
