Famous Enchiladas

I have often been referred to as a domestic goddess. I take pride in this title. I have done a lot of things to earn it, including my "famous enchiladas". Some of you have heard this story, many of you have not, but here's how it goes:

One day, when mine and Dave's love was still blossoming, Dave made me dinner. "Wow, this is good," I said, "Next week I'm going to make you my famous enchiladas." Unbeknownst to Dave, my enchiladas are famous for three things: 1. Being cheap 2. Being efficient 3. Being delicious.
All you have to do is buy a pack of frozen enchiladas (I prefer El Monterey Bean and Cheese, but any brand will do), pour a liberal amount of enchilada sauce over them, sprinkle cheese, bake for 45 mins (if frozen) and voila. Jessica's Famous Enchiladas.

Needless to say these have been the brunt of many a joke. Every time we eat dinner with friends, family, what have you, Dave says (mockingly) "Man, you should try Jessica's 'famous' enchiladas."

However, this Cinco de Mayo my pobre enchiladas achieved a victory. Dave said "Man honey, I know I make fun of these a lot, but they really are good.

And they are.

Probably better never than this late...

Hey Mary, remember back on March 18th, 2008 when you tagged me to tell 5 random things about myself? No? Well you did and if I were a better blog-friend I would have seen it before right now. As pathetic as it may be, I think that was the only "tag" I've ever gotten in the cyber-world and so, even a month and a half later, I'm going to respond. Here goes, five random things about me:
1. I count my steps when I walk.
2. I conduct converstaions between myself and whoever else I want when I'm in the bathroom. Usually the shower, but sometimes even when I'm getting ready in the bathroom in the morning. I don't know why these conversations are localized to the bathroom. (NOTE: Since I have gotten married these conversations have moved inside my head as I'm still not ready for my husband to know just what a wierdy he has married.)
3. I played Barbies for the better part of eighth grade.
4. I love things that look real, but are smaller than normal size. Examples: Miniature furniture, doll food, babies.
5. When I was seven I broke some key pieces in my sister Robyn's exquisite tea-set, and lied about it. (I'm sorry Robyn, it was me! I know you know, but I had to come clean!) On the up side, I have been baptized since then so it's "all good".

Well, there you have it. Five random things about me, including one confession.

Sorry about using the word "bathroom" three times in number 2.
