Had a good weekend overall. I tallied up our household expenses, which I hadn't done since May. (This entails going through a whole lot of receipts and entering them into a spreadsheet.)
I made some great Tamale Pie yesterday. (B. loved it.) Here's the recipe: In a large skillet, brown 2 pounds of ground beef along with a medium onion, chopped, and a clove of garlic, chopped. Salt that a little. Drain fat. Add 1 can of tomato sauce; two packets of Chili-O seasoning; and 1 regular can of corn plus 1 small can of corn, along with the liquid from the cans. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring; then remove from heat and mix in 1 can of small black olives, chopped (don't add juice). Pour that into a baking pan and smooth over the top with a spatula. Make topping with two small boxes of yellow corn muffin or cornbread mix (e.g., Martha White), pour over the meat mixture, and smooth the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until the crust browns.
I love this stuff and hadn't made it in a while.
Meanwhile I have healed from the tooth extraction.
