Mexican Casserole

-
Tonight's "real food" was a mexican casserole. It's one Mom always fixed, and I'm not sure there is a real recipe to it. It's pretty much a dump and stir to taste kinda thing. Main ingredients are hamburger, mexi-corn, crushed tomatoes, chili beans and chili seasoning. Sometimes the meat mixture was put in the bottom of a baking dish and covered with cornbread batter then baked. Most often, the cornbread was baked separate and the meat mixture is served over it. That is how I serve it. (That way I can also slather the cornbread with butter and honey......just like my Dad does!) And don't forget the heaps of shredded cheese to the top of the meat mixture/cornbread mound! As Rachael Ray would say "YUM-O!"

Of course, I'm the only one in the house who will eat this concoction. There are plenty of left-overs, and plenty to freeze too.

Happy Trails,

I just wanted to say thanks for adding me to your blog list. My father-in-law makes a similar Mexican casserole, I think he uses corn tortillas and Velveeta cheese instead of cornbread and shredded cheese though and bakes it altogether in layers. It's delicious!

The following article was written by my Dad's wife, Gloria. Dream of building, flying own airplane comes true for Ionia man By Gloria Garman-Schlaefli Dick Schlaefli, Ionia, has achieved his dream of building and flying his own airplane. It took 15 years to complete, but for Dick being able to now fly his Pietenpol Air Camper was well worth the long wait. Dick developed his love of flying during high school when his three uncles, Ray and Dan Richardson and Jim VanSickle, each had his own airplane and Dick would take frequent rides with them. His interest in flying continued into college and while attending Fort Hays State University, he took lessons and earned his pilot's license. He built model airplanes and did control line flying with them, but hoped some day to be able to fly in his own airplane. It was in a magazine article that he first learned about the Pietenpol airplane. He learned that Bernard Pietenpol designed and built the first Air Camper, in 1929 in Cherry Grov...

Sixteen years ago

Sixteen years ago today there was a terrible ice storm across Kansas. Sixteen years ago today there was also a wedding in the United Methodist Church in Cawker City, Kansas. That's where Plowboy and Plowgirl officially became PlowFamily! I'm glad that life has led us down the path that it has. We have a good life and a great little family. Enjoy a "through the years" review in pictures. Engagement picture Wedding Day taken for the Successful Farming article in 1999 taken for Church directory in 2007 Christmas 2008

A day in the life......................

-
of me......during planting season. Most days go something like this: Up and at 'em after the "birthday's" on the morning show. (Ok, so 6:47 isn't really that early in the whole scheme of things!) Check email, facebook, newspapers. Off to a shower. Wake up Plowbaby and Plowboy, and get both moving. (not necessarily an easy feat!) Change the channel to "toonies" for Plowbaby, and try to get her to eat some breakfast and change her clothes and get ready for work/school. The goal is for her and I to be out the door BY 9. Again, I know....not real early.....but YOU haven't tried to get Miss Pokey around in the morning! Also in the mean time, get some laundry going, and dishes cleaned up from the night before. Drive up to the farm (or the last field from last night) to find the empty NH3 tanks from the night before. Hook up and head toward AgChoice. This is if I haven't already been sent on 3 other missions, before even hooking up the first t...
