American Karnival

We invited a family over. Just a casual gathering for beer, chili, and football. Then we invited another family. And then another. So, I guess I just have to admit we’re having a Super Bowl Party.

I’m hoping for one of those fishes and loaves miracles, especially since that can of what I thought was refried beans was actually enchilada sauce, so no bean dip. I just can’t do yet another “quick trip” to the grocery store.

I think it’s fitting that this weekend falls so close to Lent this year. We’ll have two days to get rid of all that carne (and chocolate and soda and chips) before the fasting begins.

  1. Just makes me hungry thinking about this…Corn tortillasolivescheeseonionssour cream(If you have left over chicken you can shred and add to layers)Depending on how many tortillas, tear up by hand into bite size pieces into deep casserole dish, spread some enchilada sauce, layer with cheese, olives, chopped onions. Continue with layers. Cover with foil, place in oven on 350 for 45 minutes… Remove from oven top with dallop of sour cream

  2. Amen to getting rid of all the demon foods in the house.

  3. You can come to my house, but my TV is pretty diminuitive. But I got condiments galore and no enchilada sauce! I DO, however, have some left over beanless chili and mixed with velveeta, it’s wonderful…I’d be happy to share. Anna B., thanks for the recipe!BTW…I’m getting rid of demon foods and drinks tonight, too. Except coffee…I can’t give up coffee. You don’t want me to give up coffee.

  4. Snacks are good, but the company is the best.

  5. I hope you had a great time, and had enough food for everyone. I hate those quick trips to the store as well. I always seem to make at least two of them, though. lol.
