Certifiable!

Did it rain at your house yesterday?
It was a monsoon here.
Great big floppy wet rain, all day.
And I got to drive where I didn't know where I was going late on the freeway with no navigation because I went back to my beloved horse and buggy blackberry.

I spent half of what otherwise might have been a just fine day at trailerpark school fulfilling state requirements so as not to be heavily fined or have a lien put upon our property and the worst part of it was they didn't even come close to serving enough brownines and the coffee was bad.
For all twohundred people.
Yes, two-hundred people.
The last class I went to had about twenty-five people.
This class had two-hundred.
One of which was a particularly large woman with a twisted ankle and a cane that kept falling on my foot and a bad habit of never stopping talking
I turned and faced the front of the class so she couldn't see my ears, but she just spun around to the older half deaf man seated behind her at the table and talked to him.
LOUDLY.
The entire time.

The conversations went something like this...

LL (large Lady): Do you have any cats?

HDOM (Half Deaf Old Man): What?

LL: Cats. Do you have any cats?

HDOM: No. I don't like cats.

HDOM: My wife has a cat.

LL: You don't like cats?

HDOM: What?

LL: YOU. DON'T. LIKE. CATS?

HDOM: Yes.

LL: I have seven cats.

HDOM: You have seven hats?

LL: !CATS! I have seven cats.

HDOM: Oh. My wife has a cat.

This went on for four hours.
And I never even get a brownie.

After enduring those four grueling hours of the cat hoarding loud talker I decided to finish off the day with a theme dinner and prepare a long standing family favorite.
Trailerpark Tacos.
If you're familiar with my cooking you know that I serve a number of trailerpark themed dishes, but this is by far one of the best and the recipe has been requested by many one person so here goes...


Trailerpark Tacos
1 thing of crescent rolls
1 lb 80/20 hamburger drained
1 package taco mix seasoning
1 can refried beans
1 little can chopped up green chillies
sour Cream
grated cheese
tomatoes
onions

Put half of the crescent rolls (4) in the bottom of a casserole this size


Not the 9X13, but the square one.
I spray the bottom with Pam first but I don't know if you have to.
Then mix up the beans in a bowl so they get kind of soft and then spread them over the crescent rolls.
Then put the hamburger that you've browned and added the taco seasoning to over the beans.
Then plop some sour cream over the hamburger.
Then add the whole little can of chopped green chillies evenly over all of that.
Then cover that with grated cheese.
Then lay the other four crescent rolls across the top.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until it's done, usually about 10-20 minutes, it just depends how hot your oven runs, but it's done when it's browned.
Then...
Serve and top with sour cream, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa 
(the packages that you get from Taco Bell are the best)
and whatever else you like.
So good!

I am proud to announce that the Sate of Oregon has qualified me to pass the recipe on to you.


It got a little crumpled in the rain.

Peas.

  1. I think that Tr5ailer Taco bake sounds pretty good - not to mention, ambitious considering the day you had.

    How did you end up with white sheep birthing black lambs with white shocks atop their heads (and a white foot). Is the ram black? (An inter-racial affair)
