Spaghetti Bake
I know it's been a while since I added anything to this blog, but I loved my spaghetti bake I made lately...
frying pan
soup pot to boil spaghetti
casserole dish (any that will hold about 2 quarts or so, as long as it's big enough so cheese doesn't melt off the sides and into the oven, then... well, that will make your cooking experience even more thrilling and smoke-filled)
one box of thin spaghetti
1 to 2 pounds of ground meat (beef is my friend, but if you want turkey, or buffalo, or sausage, be my guest)
1 can of huntz (cheapest kind of spaghetti sauce you can get) or make it yourself, however you want
2lbs or so of fine grated cheese, or any kind of cheese you want to put on top..
boil the spaghetti until it is cooked with just a teensy bit of aldente'. (that means a bit of hard in the center, but not too much, then it will be crunchy in the casserole. egh.
while it's boiling, cook up the ground meat until all the way done, don't leave ANY pink in any of it. seriously, it could harbour any little bad wigglies.
add the spaghetti sauce (and use any kind, it's all nummie)
stir it up, take off heat.
drain spaghetti
mix spaghetti and sauce in the original soup pot. make sure it's all coated with sauce and fairly well mixed with meat.
dump into casserole dish.
spread the cheese on top. add or take out as much as you want, hell, it's your dinner. have fun with it.
bake in the oven at 350 or so until cheese is melted all the way across the pan.
take out of oven, let set for about 15 min or so.
cut into four inch by four inch sections, or as big or small sections as you want, it's your food.
let set just a bit longer, then scoop out as many sections as you want to eat. it's just easier to scoop when you cut into sections.
tadaa!

AH... the joy of icy hills, an anecdote.
One morning in December, I was woken by "Zorchsnapplesnapplecrackzorchpop" and a bit of glittery light out the northern window.
this was about 5:30am.
I stumbled around a bit, thinking, 'my, isn't it awefully quiet in here. is the electricity off?' and looking at my printer. there was no light on the printer. I flicked the switch on in the room, no light. piss.. i say to myself.
knock on Linc's door, 'Linc, a power line must have fallen. there's no electricity.'
a mumbling curse comes from his room. I go to the southern window, and it is sheeted over with Ice so thick, you can't see out.
well, there's the problem right there.
No electricity, no computer .... hey! Cell phone!
I go to facebook, and state we may have to eat the cat... the power had been down for only 15 minutes. BUAHAHAA. Linc didn't take too kindly to that post. I laughed.
BHP (black hills power) was called, and about 20 min later they were at the southern base of the hill. I watched from the apartment's door, and while watching, they tried to send up a bucket truck.
well. this is where it was truly interesting. During this time, about 6 or 8 of the workers were Icecapading across the intersection and up the hill. a few even fell.. poor guys!
Well, the bucket truck makes it about half way up the hill, slides sideways, then takes out two cars parked on the side of the hill.. "Merry Christmas, you get a new car, thanks to BHP."
The truck comes to a stop at the intersection where the men are now hand tossing salt and sand onto the road so they can walk without killing themselves.
They get a large sand truck out there finally, and THAT tries to go up the hill. Ain't happenin'. IT gets halfway up, and slides backwards back down. SO, it has to turn around, and BACK UP THE HILL so it can scatter sand and salt so IT can get a path to the downed power line. So far, it's been about an hour / hour and a half.
The sand truck says 'screw this, you got enough here for a truck to get up.' and goes back out to sand and salt the main streets.
well, it IS a path just big enough for a regular bhp truck, but not a bucket truck. so one guy drives up the hill, finds the downed line, and walks back to the truck. he's looking up at the pole that the line was connected to, and back to the truck, then back to the pole and then to the truck (insert old spice commercial here), like he's trying to figure out how the HELL he was gonna fix it.
well, he comes out of the truck holding a 4 or 5 foot, orange pole. I'm like, wtf? is he going to HIT the damn thing and get it to work?
but no.
it seems this pole is Retractable. He extends it about 20 feet up to where the line is broken, and FIXES THE GORRAM LINE!! WITH A FRIGGIN RETRACTABLE POLE! I was duely impressed.
The electricity comes back on, and we don't have to eat the cat.
however, neither Linc nor myself can make it to work that day, there was a no travel advisory put out by the police.

Update
I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. I have been sticking to packaged soups as of late, when my Dad had given me some for Christmas. But I used them as bases for a richer soup that I add veggies and meats to. So a simple bag, whisked into a pot of 8 cups of water turns into a nearly full meal (fruit being left out of the equasion there..)
I've been wiping out our tea supply as well. Right now my favorite is Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It's so strong, one bag for me makes a small pot of like 3 or 4 cups.
I'm thinking of making lasagna again tonight.. but I'm outta cheese and tomatoes. So off to the grocery store for those, and some more of those soup mixes! NOM NOM NOM.

CHRISTMAS.....2000
I was living with Judy at the time in Hainsway apartments. I was working at Spiegel, and life was ... mediocre. Well, we couldn't really top the previous thanksgiving, since a lot of our peeps decided to make differant choices than ones *I* would have made, and more than half of our group had other things going on.
SO, we decided to go to my dad's farm in Nebraska (about 2 hours away) and stop at the Wakpamni Bed and Breakfast ( http://www.wakpamni.com/ ) , where our other friend, Laurie's family lived. Well, Judi and I took her Dynasty car down to the off-the-beaten-path get away, and there was noone home.. this was about 5 or 8 pm Christmas Eve.
So we just toodled on down the rest of the way to the farm. We had a good dinner and exciting breakfast with present openings and carols.. we each got a blanket, hats and gloves and scarves from my dad, and a few other things that only Dad would have thought of for both me and Judy. We gave him a few spiffy things as well, and my son was there too, enjoying the festive christmas with his mother.
I had to work the next day, so we took off around 4pm to go back up to Rapid City, by way of once again, Wakpamni B&B. Well, the Swicks were home, and ALL of them were home. Raleigh, Andrew, Adam, Laurie... And they had a new dog, one that looked a bit like Spuds Mackinzie. He had a collar made with jingle bells, and was all butt-wigglie because he had one of those thin tails that really wasn't a swishy waggy tail, just whippy waggie..
ANYWAY, Mr and Mrs Swick talked me and Judy into staying for dinner.. so we did. and we helped fix it too. WELL, Raleigh and Andrew went hunting for a goose for dinner, and a couple pheasants as well. We were listening to christmas music, peeling potatoes, getting brussel sprouts washed off, and having a good time. The boys came back in, and were all excited, as was the dog, wuffing and wagging and jingling the whole time.
Raleigh says "Look what we got!" and pulls a huge goose out of his bag, and hands it to Andrew.
the bird is still bleeding! all over the floor. of a very very nice bed and breakfast. light color carpet.
"RALEIGH! GET THAT THING OUTTA HERE!" Mrs Swick yells at them in her southern belle accent, "IT'S BLEEDIN' ON THE FLOOR!"
Andrew hoofs it over to the sink, where in one side are dirty dishes in water, and the other side, our fresh Brussel sprouts. He opted to dump the bleeding bird onto the vegetables. they could be washed off.
While he's doing this, Raleigh pulls out another 'bagged bird', a lovely pheasant rooster! I looked over from where I was helping Mr Swick peel garlic cloves, and something just didn't seem right....
"Oh you got a Pheasant! How Lovely!" Mrs Swick says, and smiles.... then it happened
The pheasant TOOK OFF! It hadn't been killed! It flapped around the room, spraying blood all over the walls and stair railings! Mrs Swick started yelling at the boys, the dog was barking and attacking the bird, Judy was at a loss for words as was I... Laurie was chasing down the bird, trying to corner it in the bathroom, which by this time looked like it was used on the set of Psycho.
Mr Swick just sat in his chair, next to me, and peeled garlic, chuckling the whole time.
Well, now that freddy kreuger visited the bed and breakfast, and the bird was caught and neck wrung, Mrs Swick made the boys take the birds to the garage to clean them.
Laurie, Judy and I set to work washing the walls and trying to soap out the carpet.... to the sound of the dog jingling around outside, terrorizing the cats. hehehehe.
The dinner went well, and we headed home....
NOW you remember where I said dad had given us blankets etc? well, we needed every stitch of those gifts.
The car had no heater.
no defrost.
it was nearly 10 pm when we left the B&B
and this was christmas in SD/NE.
the temperature was way below 0
we had to scrape the windshield from the inside to see outside
and
only one headlight.
for 2 hours
back home.

Thanksgiving... 1999
a few years back, before 2001, when I had met Dan, Friends of mine and I did a thanksgiving to remember.....
We had just done the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the Alex Johnson Ballroom, Halloween was a kick that year... That was the year I met Travis (that is a story within itself), and was introduced to Vampire the Masquerade. We played the Table Top with dice at first, then we upgraded to LARP (Live Action Role Play). We all had our own little quirks and costumes.. it was a Hoot! ( except mass combat.. another long story )
Well, quite a few of us had no other way to do thanksgiving with family, so I agreed to cook dinner and everyone brought something else to the table. It was a lovely idea.
Well, We had turkey breast, ham, potatoes, beans, chips, dip, and wine... remember, we had wine.. and dragon's breath.. remember this. we were intoxicated.
while food was cooking, and people were showing up:
Nate
Travis
Jamie
Lincoln
Brian
and Me.
Well, while food was cooking, Travis brought the ingredients to Dragon's Breath:
5 fifths of clear alcohol (rum, vodka etc)
5 packets of black cherry koolaid
7 cups of sugar (white refined)
3 habeneros (peppers)
1 large bottle of tobasco
pour all the alcohol into a large pot, and simmer on low, adding sugar, koolaid, and tobasco.
use some of the alcohol to blend the habeneros to a fine puree
then simmer the peppers along with the rest for about half an hour
filter out all of the peppers with a fine mesh filter/funnel
put all the alcohol into containers, and chill
Brian comes over, and I hand him a large mug:
"Brian, taste this!"
"what is it?"
"Koolaid"
*sniff sniff, Gulp*
.
.
.
"FUCK ME GENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW!!!"
*cough hack wheeze, spit into sink*
Now, The dinner saw all of us dressed up as we were for halloween or just in some outfit:
Me: Irish garb from SCA
Travis: Dominatrix
Neight: Nosveratu Vampire (with the scar)
Brian: Viking Lad
Jamie: Gay Geisha Chef
Lincoln: Al Boreland (he said he wasn't going to dress up for thanksgiving, but showed up in nice pants, and a red plaid shirt.. he was also sporting a fairly full beard, and looked just like Al Boreland from Home Improvement.)
otherwise, the food was great...
well, dinner went great, and afterward, we were sitting, drinking, watching something on tv. I was sitting in a plastic chair, and looked over at Lincoln on the arm of the sofa. He happend to be drinking wine from a champaign flute, and had put the full top of it in his mouth and was going 'ahlaalaa' with his tongue, trying to lap the wine... I about wet myself.
I started to laugh and basquaw *Loud and fully hearty laughter*, then fell out of my chair, onto the floor.
NOW, earlier that evening, I had wrenched my thumb on a stair railing.. don't ask me how, i don't remember how, i just remember it hurt.
Neight comes up and offers his hand, to help me up. I take his hand and scream because it pulled on my thumb... well then he thought it would be amusing to stand over me, one foot on either side, and bend over, to help me up by PICKING me up... well, he ended up breadbasketing me with stiff fingers to my ribs..
NOW.. I am a VERY VERY ticklish person. and when I say VERY i mean you could pull the phantom "tickle tickle" from a phone call and i'd freak out.
Well, I freaked out, for he was indeed tickling me in the ribs. so naturally, I kicked. strait up, like opening a scissors... NOW REMEMBER: He was straddling me, standing over me, and well, his Groin was RIGHT THERE.
The crack as my foot connected to Neight's Groin was what made Travis (who was in the bathroom at the time) poke his head around the corner and ask "What the fuck was that??!"
Neight doubled over, and was giggling like a ninny, tears gushing from his eyes in pain, but still, giggling like a ninny.. I felt sooooo bad!!! but we were all laughing and giggling.. for you do remember, we were Inebriated.
We finally calmed down, and were sobering up a smidge, enough to clean up the table and put away leftovers for my then roommates to eat if they came back in a timely manner....
SIDE STORY:
I would NEVER lock the door to the apartment when I left, because normally there was one or both other roommates in the apartment when I left. both roomies were male, (had no romantic connection to either, both were taken), so i would think, hell, if someone broke in, they could handle the problem.
WELL: That night of thanksgiving, I left, and one roommate had just come home, however, he had gone to the apartment's swimming pool. He wanted to go have some fun while the place was empty. (that whole roommate thing is ANOTHER story altogether.)
So I left, and LOCKED the door.
I came home after a few hours, we had gone Somewhere to either a bar or a movie, or perkins... we loved perkins. sometimes still do.
When we came back, there was the roomie, mad as hell, but not technically AT me.. I was only a portion of what he was mad about....
When he left to go swimming, he FORGOT TO TAKE HIS KEY. Assuming *I* had once again, left the door unlocked. His story:
"I went swimming, and came back to the apartment. the door was LOCKED! I was so mad, because YOU NEVER LOCK THE DOOR! THE ONE TIME YOU DECIDE TO LOCK THE DOOR, I don't take a key with me! So, There were no neighbors home, they had gone elsewhere for Thanksgiving. So I took the fire escape to the roof.. TO THE ROOF.. soaked to the bone, with just swim trunks and a towel and soaked shirt. NO SHOES, NO DRY CLOTHING. I walked across the roof in bare feet, picking up tar and pebbles in my feet. "
NOW REMEMBER, this is THANKSGIVING in SOUTH DAKOTA. The temperature was nearly below freezing, and it had snowed a little a few days prior.
"I climbed down the wall to a Neighbor's Patio, and crawled across the divider rail to OUR patio. YOU DIDN'T LOCK THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR!!"
Needless to say, even 11 years old, this story is stuck in my mind for EVER!!

I take his hand and scream because it pulled on my thumb... well then he thought it would be amusing to stand over me, one foot on either side, and bend over, to help me up by PICKING me up... well, he ended up breadbasketing me with stiff fingers to my ribs..
NOW.. I am a VERY VERY ticklish person. and when I say VERY i mean you could pull the phantom "tickle tickle" from a phone call and i'd freak out.
Well, I freaked out, for he was indeed tickling me in the ribs. so naturally, I kicked. strait up, like opening a scissors... NOW REMEMBER: He was straddling me, standing over me, and well, his Groin was RIGHT THERE.
The crack as my foot connected to Neight's Groin was what made Travis (who was in the bathroom at the time) poke his head around the corner and ask "What the fuck was that??!"
Neight doubled over, and was giggling like a ninny, tears gushing from his eyes in pain, but still, giggling like a ninny.. I felt sooooo bad!!! but we were all laughing and giggling.. for you do remember, we were Inebriated.
We finally calmed down, and were sobering up a smidge, enough to clean up the table and put away leftovers for my then roommates to eat if they came back in a timely manner....
SIDE STORY:
I would NEVER lock the door to the apartment when I left, because normally there was one or both other roommates in the apartment when I left. both roomies were male, (had no romantic connection to either, both were taken), so i would think, hell, if someone broke in, they could handle the problem.
WELL: That night of thanksgiving, I left, and one roommate had just come home, however, he had gone to the apartment's swimming pool. He wanted to go have some fun while the place was empty. (that whole roommate thing is ANOTHER story altogether.)
So I left, and LOCKED the door.
I came home after a few hours, we had gone Somewhere to either a bar or a movie, or perkins... we loved perkins. sometimes still do.
When we came back, there was the roomie, mad as hell, but not technically AT me.. I was only a portion of what he was mad about....
When he left to go swimming, he FORGOT TO TAKE HIS KEY. Assuming *I* had once again, left the door unlocked. His story:
"I went swimming, and came back to the apartment. the door was LOCKED! I was so mad, because YOU NEVER LOCK THE DOOR! THE ONE TIME YOU DECIDE TO LOCK THE DOOR, I don't take a key with me! So, There were no neighbors home, they had gone elsewhere for Thanksgiving. So I took the fire escape to the roof.. TO THE ROOF.. soaked to the bone, with just swim trunks and a towel and soaked shirt. NO SHOES, NO DRY CLOTHING. I walked across the roof in bare feet, picking up tar and pebbles in my feet. "
NOW REMEMBER, this is THANKSGIVING in SOUTH DAKOTA. The temperature was nearly below freezing, and it had snowed a little a few days prior.
"I climbed down the wall to a Neighbor's Patio, and crawled across the divider rail to OUR patio. YOU DIDN'T LOCK THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR!!"
Needless to say, even 11 years old, this story is stuck in my mind for EVER!!

A little Interlude
I Think you all get the idea I like to cook with cheese and Meat. #1: because it is cheaper and fills up hollow legs faster than fancy vegetables and fruits, however, we do have those on our menu on occasion. I am planning on getting a little heavy whipping cream to dribble on some of the Fruit Salad I have in the cupboard. *I can always use more canned fruits for the boys*
I am going to have to lay off a lot of the meats and cheeses though. I have been scheduled for a chest x-ray on Wednesday, the doctors need to determine if it is my lungs or my heart. I hope that if anything it's just asthma. I can take care of that. If not, they will be putting me on Nitro.
My Grandma on my dad's side had Heart failure. As soon as they said "We may put you on nitro because it could be an issue with your heart".... ALL I could think of was seeing my Grandma's feet from behind her bed when we came back from running errands. I was 12.
SO...yeah. I just hope it's asthma.

Texas Toast and Pork Chops with Turkey Bacon
Well, gonna try this out. Not a recipe I'd ever seen but, meh. let's see what happens. I'll comment on the turn out after I'm done making it.
Roasting pan
PREHEAT oven to 350
Texas Toast Garlic bread (8 Piece pkg)
those thin sliced boneless pork chops from Walmart
pkg of Turkey bacon
melt a stick of butter in a sauté pan or frying pan or any kind of ... pan.
add spices to taste (Italian for me! with a smidge of Tabasco and a bit of juice of jalapeños from those pre-sliced ones you get in a jar, and a bit of onion salt)
fry the frak out of the pork chops.
put on top of Texas toast that you put in sprayed down roasting tin/pan
cut the turkey bacon in half shortways and X over the pork chops as thick as you want it.
IF you want to use REAL Bacon, COOK IT FIRST so it's not floppy and soggy on top of the already cooked pork chops. but do the same, and as thick on there as you want.....
OOHH HEY, I may put an overeasy egg on top of it!!! that's an idea. i'll see what happens
Lincoln just gave me the "HOLY HELL THAT SOUNDS AWESOME" wide eyed nod to the egg thing... lemme see if i can pull that off.. ok, will add more butter to fry the eggs.
bake for 10-20 min, depending on how crisp you want.
Sprinkle with fine shredded cheese.
Pull from oven, TURN OFF THE OVEN
set on top of oven, let cool for about 10 min or so,

I love those frozen skinless chicken breasts! PERFECT to use in almost any chicken recipe, unless that recipe calls for wings. ANYWAY:
Roasting Pan
Ziplock Freezer Bags
Rolling Pin
Tin Foil
STOVE
preheat to 375
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
FLIPZ CRACKERS (the ones with the garlic herb baked in, you know, the pretzel on one side, cracker on the other)
LINE ROASTER WITH TINFOIL! (if you EVER want to NEVER wash a roaster or baking pan again, use tinfoil to line it.
SPRAY TINFOIL WITH that pam stuff. or whatever generic spray you can find OR
cut up a stick A FULL STICK of butter into those perfectly sectioned out pats and place each pat in the roaster BEFORE the chicken.
Fill a ziplock FREEZER bag (they're heavier and don't rip as easy) with flipz crackers. zip shut. CRUSH CRACKERS TO A FINE POWDER WITH ROLLING PIN... NOW you will have to open the bag a little to let the air out as you crush the crackers into that fine powder, or it will POP!
beat 2 jumbo eggs in a smaller bowl (one that the chicken will fit into)
pour cracker powder into a differant bowl.
dip chicken in the eggs, then roll it in the powder. until completely dredged.
Put the chicken on top of the pats of butter.
cover with another piece of tinfoil
put in oven for about 20-30 min
pull out, remove tinfoil, bake for another 10. pull from oven,
TURN OFF STOVE
pull chicken and set it on a platter. let cool a bit.
serve with perhaps some of that rice or even some lumpy stuff.

Jesi's Porcupine Meatballs
Roasting Pan
Large Mixing bowl
PREHEAT oven to 350/375
SPRAY cooking spray in roasting pan
1 pkt of onion soup mix in bowl
about 2tbsp garlic powder
about 2tbsp onion powder
about 3 cups rice
stir up with a fork (no runcible spoon)
I KEEP POSTING ABOUT A RUNCIBLE SPOON, WELL THIS IS WHERE IT IS FROM:

when it's all squished together, all the powder mixed into the meat, and all feels good and ... smooshied, roll into about 2-3 inch balls.
take a package of TURKEY BACON (it cooks better to form around the meatballs) and cut in half ( shortways, not longways!), and X over the top of each meatball. stick in roasting pan. if there's not enough room, cook the first batch, and store the leftover meatballs in ziplock bags in the freezer. cook those later.
IN a medium soup pot (like the kind you use to make tomato soup) put in 1 can of el-cheapo spaghetti sauce, one can of cream of mushroom soup, and 1 1/2 cans of MILK. stir up really well, makes a pinkish sauce. heat up, and kinda boilish. TURN OFF THE HEAT, TAKE OFF OF HEAT of this sauce, not the OVEN.
cook those meatballs for about 30 min. then pour soupy sauce over the meatballs. bake for about 20 minutes more. sprinkle about 1 lb of cheese on top.. TURN OFF OVEN BUT LEAVE IN OVEN!!!
BRING out after about 10 min or so, set on top of Stove, let coolish, eat with garlic bread, or just some bread and butter.
STORE LEFTOVERS IN FREEZER!!! NUKE for snack or meal... do whatever you want with it. it's your food now.

add the 2lbs of hamburger to the rice stuff. squish and mash between fingers, even knead like bread dough.
while you do this, listen to this song list: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXpnI52cLEc&feature=PlayList&p=CF21B6BA711F06C0&index=0&playnext=1 )
when it's all squished together, all the powder mixed into the meat, and all feels good and ... smooshied, roll into about 2-3 inch balls.
take a package of TURKEY BACON (it cooks better to form around the meatballs) and cut in half ( shortways, not longways!), and X over the top of each meatball. stick in roasting pan. if there's not enough room, cook the first batch, and store the leftover meatballs in ziplock bags in the freezer. cook those later.
IN a medium soup pot (like the kind you use to make tomato soup) put in 1 can of el-cheapo spaghetti sauce, one can of cream of mushroom soup, and 1 1/2 cans of MILK. stir up really well, makes a pinkish sauce. heat up, and kinda boilish. TURN OFF THE HEAT, TAKE OFF OF HEAT of this sauce, not the OVEN.
cook those meatballs for about 30 min. then pour soupy sauce over the meatballs. bake for about 20 minutes more. sprinkle about 1 lb of cheese on top.. TURN OFF OVEN BUT LEAVE IN OVEN!!!
BRING out after about 10 min or so, set on top of Stove, let coolish, eat with garlic bread, or just some bread and butter.
STORE LEFTOVERS IN FREEZER!!! NUKE for snack or meal... do whatever you want with it. it's your food now.
OK
NOW that I have your attention, especially with those three... well, kinda FOUR recipes, I just want you to know that I have very eclectic tastes in music, movies, TV shows, entertainers. I have a warped sense of humour, sometimes it's VERY un-PC. But you know, people can deal with my harmless harassment. AND if they can't, well, not my problem if they can't tell the difference between a joke and a serious accusation/taunt.
ALSO, if you have a problem with how I make a Recipe, or the wording I use, well, don't read it. and if you still don't like it, well, tough banana boogers. deal with it.
I've had a chest cold/cough/wheeze something that makes me hurt to talk, so my job as a phone customer service person or phone sales person is in jeopardy. Until I can find out what the hey it is, i'm stuck. so .... also.. meh. can't change being sick. blarg. nyar. mrf.
ALSO, i will use "Jesisms" .... Words that I use that others don't really .. ever.. use. but they are understood... kinda like the Jabberwocky. ( http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html )
I will also post links and pictures that MAY OR MAY NOT be unsuitable for children under the age of 10... but then again, this is MY blog, and if you don't like it, don't read it.
Humankind was given FREE WILL. I don't force you to do anything. :)
SO, I will post different recipes that are just... good to eat. may or may not be "GOOD FOR YOU" ... but they sure are tasty!!! TRIED AND TRUE!
WARNING:
a LOT of my recipes contain butter, not that margarine crap, meat ( a lot of bacon ) and other things that could clog your arteries.. but again, SURE ARE TASTY!
If yer gonna die, die with a pie and a smile on yer face!

Jesi's FIRST Rice Recipe
Big Soup Pot
Stirring spoon, runcible or otherwise.
Tinfoil roasting pan, one of those 8x8's is perfect, actually
Colander
Dice up 4 of those frozen chicken breasts (thawed)
season up with LEMON PEPPER seasoning, and if you have, normal pepper and garlic. YES WE LOVE GARLIC!
bake in that 8x8 roasting pan after totally coating the diced chicken at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until it's cooked all the way through, poorly cooked chicken makes you sick. so does pork. Google Salmonella and trichinosis.
drain in colander
Put in big soup pot with 1/2 stick of BUTTER, not that margarine crap.
put the chicken in the pot ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9oyr_MKABY&feature=related )
fry to make chicken crispy, if you haven't noticed, I like to FRY things.
add 1 can of corn (NOT creamed!! Normal corn in a can, but DRAIN IT FIRST!)
stir up and fry a little more
add about 4 cups of water
BOIL
then
add about 4 cups of MINUTE or INSTANT RICE
BOIL for about 5 minutes then take off of heat STIR CONTINUALLY Mix it up all good and mixed.
TURN OFF THE STOVETOP!!!
If you read those directions on the box, they really should just say EQUAL parts rice and water. (sometimes i like to do 1 cup milk to 3 cups water. makes that rice tasty in my opinion, as humble as that may be... but it also makes it stickier.
let set for about 15 minutes, then fluff with .. spoon perhaps? maybe a fork if you don't know where your spoon went.

Jesi's Lumpy Stuff
Big soup Pot
Frying Pan (big one)
Stirring Spoons, runcible or otherwise
Stove
Colandar
PUT in 1 whole stick of butter, not that margarine crap, into that pot.
melt.
add about 6 cups of MILK and about 2 cups of water
add spices to flavour (Italian, garlic, onion, or whatever spices you like. Those are my favorites.)
start to boil liquid and spices.
add mashed potato flakes until slightly mushy. (this is where reading the rules of the recipe of how to make those instant mashed potatoes helps... they thicken up fast.)
TURN OFF STOVE! (if you have electric stoves, move off of the burner, and constantly stir!!) add a bit of those instant mashed potatoes to make a bit thicker if not thick enough.
FRY about 2lbs hamburger, diced up 1/2 white onion and 1/2 green bell pepper -also diced- (other half you can slice into slices and dip in ranch dressing or what have you and eat raw, it's nummy.) fry until all is crispy meat, carmeled onion and about same bell pepper. Drain in a Colander.
ADD it to the mashed potatoes. Stir it up all the way, and add about 2lbs of Cheese (any kind that makes you happy, finely shredded melts best.)
SERVE AND EAT!!

Jesi's Tater Tot Casserole
NEEDED:
1 Roasting pan (turkey pan is best)
1 Oven
1 Large Cooking Pot (holds about a gallon or two or so)
Cooking (normal or Runcible) Spoon, Spatula, or something handy you can stir with
Colander
5lb bag of Tater Tots (any brand is fine... but if you can find those bacon ones, AWESOME, everything tastes better with bacon, which will be another recipe)
spray cooking spray in the bottom of the roasting pan.
line bottom of roasting pan with tater tots. sprinkle italian seasoning over those tater tots. add other spices if you wish, it's up to you.
preheat the oven to about 375 or so.
put roaster in oven, then:
2lbs or so of hamburger
1/2 white onion diced
1 small can of stems and pieces of mushrooms
Italian Seasoning
Garlic powder (or about 2tbsp of diced garlic)
Onion powder (about 1tbsp, one tsp if you aren't into onion flavour)
1 stick of butter, not that margarine crap.
Melt Butter in pot, fry diced onion, garlic, mushrooms with seasoning until carmelizedish. add hamburger, fry rest of the way until hamburger is crunchy little iddy biddy bits. drain in Colander then put back into pot.
add two cans of Cream Of Soup (cream of mushroom/chicken/asparagus/spinach, you get the idea, whatever you like, I like Cream of Mushroom) and about 4 cans of MILK.
Stir all up into a slurry, letting it bubble and boil.
Add a 1LB bag of frozen mixed vegetables. corn, peas, lima beans, diced carrots packet if you can find it. if not, just whatever 1lb bag of frozen mixed veggies you can find, or want in there. (gotta have yer veggies)
Cook in pot, boiling it, stirring it. will take about 10 minutes or so... maybe longer. TURN OFF STOVE TOP.
TURN OVEN TO BROIL for about 7 minutes.
pour slurry over the really toasty tater tots.. make sure they are really toasty!!! crunchy even!!
add a layer of cheese. about 1 1/2 lbs, more if you like your cheese. Put the rest of the tater tots over the cheese. sprinkle with italian seasoning and other spices. Put in oven WHILE IT IS ON BROIL. Broil to cook those top tater tots!! about 10-15/20 min, depending on how long to make them REALLY CRISPY.
pull out and check, if they are really crispy, then add another layer of 1 1/2 lbs or more of cheese. Put back in oven for about 5 more minutes, to melt and crisp-top that cheese.
When the cheese looks nice and crispy, or is completely melted on and around the tater tots. Pull from oven.
TURN OFF THE OVEN!!!
Set on top of stove and let it settle / cool for about 15-20 minutes.
EAT!!!
