Okay, home late and it's hump day...Lord give me strength (and a drink)! Only a half of a small bottle of wine left, WHAT??? Hope is not lost, plenty of ice cold beer in the fridge...aaahh, life is good! So what kind of s!#t can I find in the freezer tonight to help me create a masterpiece? Looks like a frozen brick (I'd say a little over a pound or so) of hamburger meat will be the answer to tonight's dilemma! Now, after a nice big mug o' icy cold beer, lets check out the crap in the cabinet...hehehe, I said 'Crap in The Cabinet' but that's a whole new blog! This would be a great taco night but, no taco shells!!! What the hell, I have a few taco seasoning envelopes in the cupboard and I know I have all kinds of jazz to get rid of in fridge, so it's Skillet Taco night!! We have 3/4 jar of med salsa, a small piece of tomato, 1/2 of a medium onion (might as well use this stuff up before it rots & grows fuzz :) Got a little sharp shredded cheddar cheese left in the bag, I would have liked shredded lettuce but all I have is a bag of mixed salad greens so I'll shred that up and make due. A little light sour cream left and we are actually good to go! Another cold one and we begin...brown the hamburger in a med skillet (with the chopped onion or leave the onion raw for a topping, up to you). After the meat is browned, drain & add an envelope of taco seasoning with 2 or 3 tbls of water. Mix well and cover. Simmer meat for 5 to 10 mins on low. Drink some more beer (a shot of tequila about now would help greatly) and relax! Now, drop a few globs of salsa on top of the meat mixture and spread it evenly over the meat. Sprinkle cheese over the salsa and cover. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few mins until cheese is melted. Uncover and throw the lettuce on top of the cheese then sprinkle some chopped tomato over the top. Serve with a fat dollop of sour cream (if I had blk olives, I would use those also but too bad, so sad)! Dern Tasty again...ENJOY!!!

So Tired, SO thirsty, now it's dinnertime..Uuuggh!

And here it is...another weekday night, another delectable dinner to come up with. Well I'm tired and SOOO thirsty!! Too tired to stop at the store so I must rely on what I already have right here at home. But first and most importantly...WINE! Aaahhh, that's better! Now, back to  dinner! Checking out the freezer, there is always bags of frozen s!#t that I have to defrost before I even realize what the hell it is but oh the magnificent wonders I have concocted with so little & in no time at all. This frozen brick turns out to be leftover Thanksgiving turkey, okay...I got this! I always keep plenty of assorted types of soups, spices and sauce / gravy envelopes on hand just for these situations. It's casserole night!!! (oh my gracious, I'm so amazing :) Time to pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees (as usual) and boil me an 8oz bag of egg noodles which seems to be the only noodles I have on hand. I just can't get over how parched I seem to be this evening,,,MORE WINE! Okay, so to bring the cooked turkey and noodles together let's use mushroom soup and milk. Damn, I have no milk and one can of mushroom soup...CRAP!! I can do this! I do have a few different kinds of soups but the only one I can think that would be best with this gourmet meal must be the cream of onion. So I just smear a glob of butter around the inside bottom and sides of my 10 x 10 casserole dish, pour the hot , drained egg noodles into the casserole dish with the defrosted turkey pieces. Mix the can of mushroom and cream of onion soups in with the noodles and turkey with a little salt & pepper to taste, stir in globs of room temp. margarine (or butter if your fancy) about a quarter cup should do. Spread turkey noodle mixture even in the dish and just for the hell of it, sprinkle some bread crumbs over the top of the whole thing, I only have Italian seasoned on hand so that's what they get! Drink some more, dot the top with chunks of margarine (or butter) and shove it in the oven un-covered. Have another glass of wine, let it cook for 20 to 25 mins and DERN TASTY!!!
