People who know us know that we are both great cooks. What they may not know is that my wife is an innovator in the kitchen. Well, most of the time that's what she winds up being called. Sometimes she's just someone who can't follow a recipe.
She has the ability to create some dishes by finding some recipe that sounds good, or some dish she had at a restaurant, and modifiying it. Like I said, sometimes this comes off as just not following a recipe. Tonight, she hit a home run. I liked it so much that I felt like it needs to be published, so here ya go: Enchilada Pie.
Using an oven-safe skillet, brown about a pound of hamburger, and drain off the fat. Add a can of enchilada sauce, a can of Mexican corn, a small can of chilies, and some black olives. Mix this together, and heat through. Mix up one package of cornbread mix. We used one pack of Jiffy Cornbread Mix, but use whatever brand you have locally. Be sure to make the mix just a little dry, by maybe a spoonful or two of water. Pour the mix on top of the enchilada mixture, and put it in a pre-heated 400-degree oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Serve this with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Correction
OK, when I said vote, I meant vote for the democrat. I guess I should have made myself clear in the first place.
I fear for the next four years. I have to wonder if the people in this country will continue to blindly follow whatever the government tells them. I wonder if someone is going to wake up and miss accountability. I mean, there are at this time no reasons left standing for our troops to be in Iraq, other than Saddam is a bad man. Yes, he is (was). Bush went in swearing that in no time, Iraq would be lobbing nuclear and/or biological weapons on top of their enemies. It was absolutely not true. No one found a thing. The evidence points that not only was the Bush administration mistaken, but the knew they were mistaken, and did not tell anyone. Instead, they stuck to their story. In other words, they lied.
Knowing that they lied does not bother me nearly as much as the fact that as far as a majority of Americans are concerned, they don't care. It's ok if we were lied to, and are spending massive amounts of money that we do not have coming in on understaffing an armed force in a country where people are trying to kill our people. I have no respect at all for any Republican any more as an informed, responsible citizen.
Boy, lack of sleep makes one grumpy.
