We were out for longer than I wanted to be. We were going to have cheese
enchiladas from the freezer but Angela found some cheese and chili tamales
at the grocery store and I found a small package of pre-made Spanish rice.
We also picked up a couple of salads.

The tamales were higher in carbs than I would have liked so we each only had
one. Since I didn't cook all four, I grossly miscalculated the amount of
microwave time for the first one. It came out crunchy on one end and
semi-crunchy on the rest. Good flavor but hard to eat! I put Angela's in
for much less time. She liked it. At least one of us had a good meal! I
also sustained some damage to my hand when I pulled the first one out of the
microwave. The plate was super hot and I tipped the open end of the corn
husk towards my hand, giving me a nice steam burn. Uh huh. The rice was a
tad spicy but good. Also had lots of veggies in it.

My salad came with a tiny cup of Craisins and candied walnuts. I don't mind
Craisins but prefer my cranberries to be unsweetened. But the candied
walnuts? I don't know that I've ever had them before. But I sure can say I
don't want to have them ever again? Whose idea was this? I do love walnuts
and pecans but to do that to them is a shame! There were only a few pieces
of them but each bite that I took that had one in there sure ruined that
bite for me. Blech! 3 strawberries also came with my salad. Only one was
edible. The other two are really mushy. No matter to me really because I
think that's another thing that shouldn't be on a salad. Once in a while I
will put on some apple or pear slices but that's about as sweet as I can
imagine! There was a bag of red dressing that came with it too. I didn't
eat that at all. I'm sure I wouldn't have liked it.

So what did you have?
