Jakaby, the spam tacos sound good. I may have to try those before I go to training, lol. I can see myself trying all of it though. Now just sitting here having a beer and thinking of what type of mad casseroles I could come up with.
Ok, I have a great new recipe I just have to share. My spam tacos got me to thinking about what else I could make with a Mexican flair. Late last night was my once-every-five-days trip to Wal Mart. Walking through the aisles I spotted can tamales and fresh salsa, along with Taco Bell sauce in the jar. the trick to this is to remove as much sauce from the tamales as possible with paper towels. In the can they will be smothered in sauce. Dry them off, and line them up in the bottom of a loaf pan. Spread a layer of salsa, then a layer of cheese, then pour Taco Bell mild taco sauce on top. Repeat with a second layer of each, and put a third layer of cheese for the very top. Put it in the lunch box cooker, and 2 to 2 1/2 hours later, you have a tamale casserole. Kind of like a Mexican Shepard pie. Good stuff. The only thing I'm going to change for next time is to see if I can find some onions already diced up. I just ate it and I do believe its the best one I've come up with yet.
Sounds like another good one. I looked up trucker warren last night, and that dude had made a shepards pie with jiffy cornbread mix. Looked petty good too!
Yea, trucker warren likes to eat apparently. I'm hoping that I run into him one day and he invites me to dinner. I don't see how he gets all of that stuff in his truck but he has it down to a science. He is actually using fresh ingredients and cooking like a restaurant chef. I don't have the patience for all that. Part of the fun for me is trying to figure out how I can get the most while using the least. There was a husband and wife team I met tonight that had a grill going and lawn chairs set up. They were inviting people to come over and put something on the grill. One of them knew how to cook because the woman weighed every bit of 350 lbs. I want her to walk me through he parking lot at dark. Nobody would mess with her.
I may be starting the Richmond academy in a week or so and the paperwork I got says 3 weeks. Guess we'll find out when we get there.
if you drove 18 hours plus a day for three weeks straight I would have fired you to. I'm assuming you ran solo, which would mean you probably spent around four or five hours a day lost. Either way, there's no room for an 8 hour sleeper rest. The question of the mystery headlight would be HOW you broke it. Did you swipe it on a turn? Did you back into it? Did you hit it with a 4 lb blacksmith hammer? (I actually saw an O/O do that to a Werner guy at a pilot in Texas one evening. I decided to close my curtain and not get involved). When I got out of school, I was working 18 hour days driving a beer truck. There's a career path for you. They won't notice broken headlights and you can have all the free beer you can steal! Like it or not, a beer or coca cola truck is the extent of your options when you get canned 4 months into your first job in this business.
