Two accomplishments today! Not bad, but I was shooting for three. First of all, that 9 Can Soup I promised--that was the easiest accomplishment! We haven't eaten our dinner yet, but at least it's close enough for photos.
The Ingredients:
2 cans of Tamales
2 cans of no bean chili
2 cans of beans--any kind
1 can of corn
1 can of hominy
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can of diced chiles
I know that actually adds up to 10 cans--I added an extra can of beans because I couldn't decide between kidney beans and black beans, so I went with both. Just dump everything in the crockpot, liquid and all. Except the tamales. Those will be wrapped in paper, so remove the paper, slice the tamales around 1/4 inch, and then add the sliced tamales and liquid to the pot.
I cooked mine on high for about 5 hours and it seems ready although it could cook longer.
Then, my other accomplishment today was to get a back pieced for the Halloween quilt I'm making for my son and to get the quilt pinned. Front:
Back:
Yeah, I think it can be reversible. I didn't have enough of any one fabric or anything in my stash I liked for a back, so I ended up pretty much making another front. I'm just going to do a fairly quick all-over meander and call it done. I think my son will like it. I sent the other Halloween quilt off to my daughter in the mail, so I had to make sure I made one for my son too!
And what didn't I get done? I wanted to get my quilt from Friday night's class pinned but I didn't get a back made for that one, since the Halloween quilt took so much time. Well, there's always next weekend!
Now I'm off to make a salad to go with that soup. Yum!
