I'm on my own. I have to fend for myself. I have to make my own food. I'm gonna starve!!!
Oh wait. I know how to cook. Never mind.
So tonight I made a dinner that Tammy wasn't interested in. A Homemade Gourmet Tex-Mex Skillet Dinner.

Tammy didn't think she would like Tex-Mex seasoning. And this dinner was an opportunity to use up some ground beef. Tammy is not much of a red meat eater. And she likes her meat fresh. No more than a few months old. The ground beef I have in my freezer is more on the order of 'more than a few years old' and Tammy won't eat it.
Since Tammy will be away for a few days and I need food to tide me over until she returns...I got a little carried away. I added a little more of my rice to the amount of rice that came in the Homemade Gourmet packet. Then I had to adjust the amount of water. Then I decided to add two pounds of beef instead of just one pound to balance the rice out. In hindsight I should have added one more can of diced tomatoes to balance the meal out. Oh well, there is always leftovers to experiment with. (That is if I survive after eating my 'old' ground beef. Tammy keeps telling me I will die from eating it. I haven't yet. Tune in tomorrow to see if my lucky streak continues. Or wait... the expiration date on the rice and seasoning was back in 2011. If I kick the bucket tonight that could be the reason! Yikes!)
By the way... I like the meal I made and am looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.
