(sung to the tune of "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker" by Sandi Thom)

Last night's Tamale Pie



A variation on several search results on Tamale Pie, but mostly inspired by this recipe. Used ground turkey, two cans of fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies. Garlic, paprika, cumin, enchilada sauce, chili powder, whole corn kernals, a can of black beans, with a top and bottom crust of corn bread. All of it cooked in The Ref's deep dish cast iron skillet. A little sprinkling of cheese and it's perfect!

YUM.

'Course, we'll be eating it for days. Next time, I'll split the recipe and cook two separate pies. Or maybe in large ramekins.... hmm...

you too can join!  I did not answer last month’s challenge (although, I did several times in my head) as I adore the combination of chocolate and chili. Ah well. I found out about the challenge with two weeks left -- the last two weeks before school started, including a week I spent at a conference. Excuses, I haz dem.

Director Meme

But I liked “Vanilla Sky”....

Your result for The Director Who Films Your Life Test...

Cameron Crowe

Your film will be 55% romantic, 37% comedy, 47% complex plot, and a $ 28 million budget.

You had him at “hello” and he will complete you if you show him the money. Yes, the guy who made Jerry Maguire (and the movies Singles, Say Anything, and Elizabethtown) will make your life into a mushy romantic comedy-drama. But considering that he also wrote Fast Times At Ridgemont High and that the movie Almost Famous was about him, your film will be a GREAT mushy romantic comedy-drama with honest dialogue and a joy to watch. He also wrote and directed Vanilla Sky which wasn’t terribly romantic, nor much of a joy to watch.

Mostly at the girls on the bus today who insist on wearing tunic tops, short skirts, with tights or leggings.
STOP STEALING MY CHILDHOOD
You know, denim skirts with leggings under them looks ridiculous. Stop it.

Childhood joy

Does anyone else remember The Barbapapas?


The reference came up in the current horror novel I’m reading, The Missing by Sarah Langan (nominated for the Bram Stoker award). I had forgotten about them. Good, ‘70s children literature with non-violence solutions and Good Samaritan attitudes (and I suspect some slightly traditional gender roles. Well, you can’t have everything). Upon reading the name, I had an overwhelming urge to read all the books again. I cannot tell you any of the storylines, but the mention of the name filled me with happiness that only childhood nostalgia can foster.

My answer: Battlefield Earth.
