I love guacamole. I slice them in my salads and top them on turkey burgers too.

That is why they are here... Mexican government wants them out

Mexican crockpot
1 lb ground beef
1 lb Velveeta, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
1 can Ro-Tel
1 can Ranch Style Beans
1 can chili with no beans
8 oz sour cream
Brown ground beef and onions; drain. Combine remaining ingredients except for sour cream in crockpot and stir. Cook on low for 4 hours. Just before serving, stir in sour cream.
When we make this, we serve it over rice with taco style toppings, but it can also be used as a really great dip. It's always a hit at potlucks for me.
Mexican Chicken soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium rib celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned
1/4 cup canned green chiles
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels
4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
I normally buy 2 of the already roasted chickens at the store (Wal-mart) and eat most of one chicken for dinner and then use the leftovers as well as the next chicken for the soup, I know that is more chicken than what is called for, but it just really makes for a wonderful soup. I don't always have cilantro on hand so I usually leave that out. Also, for the whole tomatoes, I usually use a large can of crushed tomatoes. Sometimes the soup is a little to thin so I might throw in a handful of instant rice. My family can't get enough of it.
I love Mexican food, but sometimes I
make my own or other stuff and make my own TV dinners. Chicken pot pie sounds good with the cooler weather. Could also pick up a presmoked presliced brisket or ribs and heat in the crock pot. Have the recipe for Wendy's chili which I make (TopSecretRecipes.com).
No but I had an illegal Mexican immigrant ...sm
who moved in a trailer who moved on the same 10 acres I live on. The land doesn't belong to me so it wasn't up to me whether or not she lived there. Anyways she took it upon herself to give my address as her own. Her mail started coming to my box. Never asked or nothing. Then she would go check the mail in MY box and sometimes my sales papers would go missing and such. Didn't like it at all. I started making sure I got the mail first and not giving her her mail. She would come ask if she had mail and I would say no you sure don't. I think she got the point. She doesn't get mail at my box anymore. LOL Got rid of that problem.
They have recruited thousands of Mexican youth

not a fluke - held in Mexican theater...
sounds good
I think we need everyone to give their favorite sandwich recipe so we can try them all.
my own favorite is radishes, avacado, sweet onion and provolone cheese on whole wheat toast....
i'm getting hungry
Sounds too good!
Bare minerals are very nice, however, I did not like the installment plan deal. Be careful what you get into. We work like slaves by the line, so I am very careful where my money goes. Look beautiful!
That sounds so good...sm
Now pair it with a triple layer hummas (found at super Walmart) and wheat pita bread/flatbread for dipping. It's very light fare, nutritious and super yummy.... Cat
Yum, that sounds good
My parents are from out of town and they stay overnight, so in the morning after the kids open their presents we make pancakes, eggs, and bacon or sausage.
Sounds good
but I do not think that would work with the two people in my household. I was laid up for 3 months following a major foot surgery (total non-weightbearing). I had to sleep in the recliner to be comfortable etc for 3 months. Even to get someone to help me to get up and down to utilize the walker to get to my wheelchair was a chore. I told them next time I am going to a nursing home, at least I could get my hair washed. They did absolutely nothing while I was laid up. I am still trying to dig out.
Sounds good! . . . sm
I think most boxed puddings have a recipe for pudding and a different one for pie filling. I think I would use the one for pie filling because it is thicker. My MIL makes something like this and I love it! Good luck!
that sounds GOOD

Sounds good
Thanks for the input. I really don't want to mess with batteries either, so I'll see what I can find in the passive version. :)
thank you it sounds good nm

Thanks - sounds good, and so does the one below:-) nm

Sounds really good. (nm)

That sounds so good.
Is it diabetic? lol. Thanks, I'll give it a try.
That sounds like a good plan...
but I would be exhausted! I have a very large family to shop for!!!
here's an old adage: If it sounds too good to be..NM
.
sounds like you have a good time together
that is so funny!! I love stories like that
Sounds good, then just be patient....sm
and please let us know when you are 6-8 weeks into using it....I so hope it works for you, it worked for me and 2 of my friends (they had lost their hair to chemo), one of whom finished chemo in November and has nearly 2" of growth all over her head now and thick!! (post-Fermodyl)....
This sounds soooo good - sm
do you get this out or you make it yourself? If you make it yourself, how?
Sounds like one of those good ole boys
sitting around with a can of beer, got a cigarette behind his ear, wearing that wife beater T-shirt, either trying to go to the race track or watching his fav, Dale, Jr. You have it going on, don't you?
Sounds like a good plan then!
Now you won't feel the need to modify it.
That sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
sounds like you're doing good
If you can make jam cake and cornbread, you are a Kentucky gal now! I live in Northeasten KY in a small town - though not as small as yours - I lived here my entire life and when I married, we moved to Shreveportm, Louisiana for a couple of years - so that was culture shock for me!
Great - Sounds good to me
My accountant will be filing ours within the next few weeks.
Sounds like a good plan. . sm
When I was going through something similar, I had to have see it with my own eyes. No matter how suspicious I was, he would always dismiss everything. Again, I really hope there isn't really anything going on!
sounds like a good idea to me! nm

Sounds almost as good as my sweet
and sour baked beans I posted a while back. Yeh would like recipe for this dish.
That sounds like a good book.
I just finished Obama's biography and have started his "Audacity of Hope"
Sounds like you have a good marriage....
and have not had the chance to experience being alone. I also would never get married again as I love living alone, comfortable in my own skin and do not need anyone to make my life "whole".
I also think it is older women who feel this way. I think when you hit your 40's, you find yourself and realize your wants and needs that make you happy. You are not constantly making other people happy and ignoring yourself.
As for me, I could not imagine living with someone again. It would be an intrusion on my life - a life I love.
You really have no right to say "how sad". You are happily married and I congratulate you. I am happily single as are many other people who do not have to depend on a man or anyone for that matter for their happiness. Happiness comes from within.
Sounds good. I've been looking at them again.
The coal stove heats our whole house except the bedroom when the door is closed at night and the fan DH put through the wall is so noisy, you can't sleep for about a week until you get used to it. 
Thanks for the info! I'll let ya know if we get one. Have to do some cajoling now. 
That sounds so good. Thanks for the recipe. NM
Here I've lived in Texas most of my life and never made homemade chili pie. This sounds delicious, and I will definitely write down that recipe! Thanks again for sharing!
Sounds good, email me too!
and/or post a link on here. :)
Sounds like the good 'ol nolovirus or whatever - sm
it is called. I had a similar experience just a couple days ago -- stomach felt horrible, went in bathroom, sat down to go, felt a huge buzzing in my ears/head. I ended up just laying down on the floor for a while until I did not feel as faint, then went back to my business feeling a bit better after my lay down. Luckily this time I did not throw up (had this once already a month ago, threw up 8 times on and off the toilet-- fun stuff). The few times I get dizzy in these circumstances I just lay on the floor until I feel better, usually only takes a few minutes. I hope you are feeling better.
I'm hungry and that sounds pretty good right now...

Ok, sounds good, but what about the warm drinks? nm
..
Well it sounds good but a true caring
and giving person that gives from the heart and not merely to impress would also probably not have thrown a post like that in the middle of ones where people are obviously having great financial difficulties. LOL. Sometimes ya just gotta laugh.
Bless you all that are having money problems and I hope things get better for you soon. And, remember, this too shall pass.
make it thick - sounds good

What's a sherbet bunny? Sounds good

Sounds like you found a good therapist sm
we went through a horrible spell last year - daughter 17 wanted to get married a month before she turned 18, my husband supported this idea - she just graduated in May, no job, no license, no means of support and husband to be was just graduating, etc. They are good kids but very young. Husband supported her all the way and I was the bad guy for making her think things through hoping she would slow down a bit, etc. Therapist made her dad get more involved but they did marry and now she rarely if ever speaks to me - she looks at me as nonsupportive. Does not matter I busted my butt to see she had the wedding she wanted,etc. I'm just numb at this point with her - she'll come around some day. In the mean time the ocnflicts between me and DH have stopped but his nonsupport will hurt for a logn time also. I believe parents should always be a team.
Good for you! To read your posts, it really sounds - (sm)
like something has happened with her, since this is a change of character for her. You said she was an awesome friend for many years, and she probably was. But something happened to change that. It could be any one of many reasons, too: Drug habit, early dementia/Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, even a brain tumor. The latter sounds very possible. I wonder what her husband thinks about all this. He seems like a pretty decent guy. Depending on how you view his friendship, you may or may not want to discuss the problem with him. Maybe he needs to get her to a doctor.
I think you were lucky when he offered to do the work on your house for a low price, and DIDN'T screw it up. So many times, you hear horror stories about such things. So the fact that he did the work, and it turned out well, sounds like you have an asset in his continued friendship. BUT, you of course want nothing more to do with the wife.
The easiest thing would probably be to just cut all ties with them both, but I still have this feeling the husband is a good guy. He could be caught in the middle of all this. Or in denial that the lady has a serious mental problem going on. It would also be interesting to know WHY she lost her job. The mental issue could very likely be the reason.
Anyway, I think you were very wise to change the locks! ;D
I found this one for a creamy version. never tried it, but it sounds good. sm

Sorry, but he really sounds like a piece of work.....good luck! ; )

Sounds good to me. I am going to get in that car and go or go with a travel group. Life is too
short to wait around on other people for whatever. Probably plenty of people to talk to. I just got out of the habit of going alone actually and it is time to get back into it. Sometimes I agree you go with people and spend more time worrying if they like where you wanted to go than doing what you want. Yep I am going to go for it.
Gotta make sure I have that address! Sounds GOOD. NM

Good for you! My journey this year sounds similar to yours
Perhaps we are put in these situations to learn as we do and then suggest these things to others. You will have a chance to be a psychologist. I will still be a quiet MT, but I hope in my changed attitude about things people notice and ask how or why this happened. Attitude of gratitude is exactly the same technique as change your thoughts change your life. I think we all have an abundance of peace in our heart, we just have to learn how to get there. Most of my life I had no idea. I realize now that it is the want or thirst of control we have to diminish in order for peace to flow. And I don't mean lay on the couch all day and expect things to just come our way. I mean change the need for our having to constantly fix things and allow things be fixed for us in the manner of the universe. Anyway, great for you! And I hope that as the OP, we all someday find happiness in our hearts because that is where it all starts, and then like a flame can become a great big warm fire!
Sounds good to me. Glad girls are involved in video
