Tex Mess Casserole
WARNING: Better Homes and Gardens will tell you this takes about 45 minutes. They lie! They operate in a world where people know what they're doing; a world without procrastination. 
Then we added chicken-flavored rice and let that cook for 2 minutes, then stirred in an entire can of chicken broth and 2 cups of water. I brought that to a boil, then let it simmer for 20 minutes, at which point I realized we were going to be horribly, horribly late. Sean had to leave for work around 3:10 and at this point, it was 2:30 ish and I still had to bake the damn casserole. DISASTERS!
I cheated and used the pre-cooked Southwestern-flavored chicken strips. Sean chopped those strips up real nice and we added them to the rice mixture, along with tomatoes, diced green chiles (which smell SO good), cumin, chili pepper, basil and black pepper. I placed the mixture in a 2-quart casserole dish and baked for 25 minutes at 450. But something seemed...wrong.
That sure is a lot of liquid, isn't it? The directions told me that after all that boiling and simmering, the liquid wouldn't be completely absorbed, so I trusted them. But um...that looks VERY unabsorbed. Ultimately, I ended up ladling out much of the liquid just to get it closer to a casserole texture (rather than a weird stew).
And then I popped some cheese on top. It was supposed to sit for five minutes, but Sean had to leave RIGHT THEN, so we just dug in. It was a nice mix of tex-mex flavors (surprise, surprise) and I found that the consistency almost mirrored a dip, so I broke out some tortilla chips and scooped mine. Very good; I recommend it!

After nearly a month of not wrestling on WWE television, the First Lady of SmackDown made her in ring return tonight! Her opponent? None other than Smelly Kelly, accompanied by "Tonight's Two Minute Match is Brought to You By the Letter T" Tiffany! Tiffany didn't get to show off her letter making skills. I know, so sad. I don't know how we'll ever continue our lives without a weekly dose of Tiffany's impression of alphabet soup. Oh, wait! All worries and stresses are gone once Michelle's music hit the speakers! Thank you, Michelle and Layla!
The duo head to the ring and Layla has a can of what looks like air freshener or deodorant with her. Febreze, anyone? It looked like Michelle was heading into the ring for her match, but instead went charging for Tiffany. Not gonna lie, it's pretty hilarious that Tiffany got her butt kicked about as much as Kelly did and she wasn't even in the match! Maybe she should stay in the back so she doesn't get hurt. In that skirt. Or her ripped up, Ellie Mae Clampett shirt! Maybe the rip happened when Michelle literally threw the girl into the barricade. Too bad Kelly had to ruin our fun because surely we would have seen Michelle drive her knee into Tiffany's blonde noggin. There's always next week!
The bell finally rings, but the smell is too atrocious! Michelle rolls back out of the ring while Layla tries to neutralize some of the stench. Meanwhile in the ring, Kelly looks twelve kinds of ticked off. Easy there, Smelly Kelly. Michelle eventually returns to the match and puts a beating on Kelly. Ahhh, much better! It's been far too long since we've seen Michelle dish out a nice serving of McCruel Casserole. We hear it's even better if you sprinkle the tears of her victims on it!
Anyway, Tiffany sneaks up on Layla and clotheslines her. She takes the can and it's like "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!" all over again! Michelle turns into Heidi Montag and goes absolutely bonkers. Okay maybe she was more upset that Tiffany dare mess with her bestie Layla, but ya gotta admit, that hissy fit was pretty funny. Don't mess with a woman's toiletries! While Michelle kicks Tiffany to the ground, Kelly comes up behind her and gets the win with a roll up. PFFFFFFFFFT! She knew it was a fluke because she quickly rolled out of the ring, retreating up the ramp with her pal. Michelle and Layla scream at them from the ring. Michelle had her shoulder up! So not fair and this is so not over! Todd Grisham makes a big deal out of it. He says LayCool are no longer famous are flawless. Ummm.. who are you again?? Hush your face. He says Kelly is definitely in the title picture. Says who?! Nobody announced this a number one contender's match. Kelly doesn't have a rematch clause to invoke. Again, hush your face. LayCool are and forever will be Beautiful, Famous and Flawless! Now that is REAL TALK!
As usual we find ourselves asking, now what? It seems like now that Beth is gone, so are the ten minute segments and matches. How long til Melina can return? Poor Jillian can only wrestle the Twins for so long, send her over! We need something! Tiffany can do all the posing and flexing she wants, it doesn't make her a viable threat. Sorry, honey, but nobody's scared of you. And Kelly? Well we're starting to feel sorry for her. Oh, there is Rosa, but I'm not sure how jumping jacks backstage or jumping rope in the ring is going to get you anywhere. Maybe Serena will start wrestling now that she's given in to the temptation of alcohol, and hopefully she'll grow her hair out too. Oooh, LayCool can give her a make over! A wig worked for Molly Holly, and with LayCool helping her out, she'll be Flawless in no time!
