¡Hola! In 1862, President Juárez declared that the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla would be a national holiday – “Battle of Cinco de Mayo”. Mexican Cat Dance Anyone?

Good morning! Mmm, this day always makes me crave my favorite cuisine….Mexican! I’ve already indulged in restaurant food this week though (Indian buffet) so I’ll try to resist. Love the cinco de drinko kit…looks like mine after partaking of their new catnip.

Yes, Mexican sounds yummy….maybe I’ll make a taco salad for supper tonight because I have a brand new bag of chips!
Off to the Dr. this morning as I have had a cough for a week and it’s not getting better. How can you go from well to having bronchitis with no cold virus in between? I think I need antibiotics (ugh) and this is the only way to get them I’m afraid….I hate to sit in the Dr’s office as my cough sounds horrible! 😳

Morning all! …. I made my Chicken Enchilada casserole last night, and it turned out fantastic! …. super easy and delish! Once again, my crazy town is practically shut down with people drinking margaritas in the streets ….. any excuse for a party/holiday LOL …. Me, I have to work today, but then again, what’s new! Abby had another yak-fest this morning, I have her V-E-T appt. next Tues, so I’ll see what’s going on ….. maybe her getting to be older tummy is getting more sensitive …. Here’s my casserole recipe (super family meal)
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
1 can cream of mushroom
1 lg. can (90 oz) enchilada sauce
1 lg. can (28 oz) diced tomatoes w/green chilies – loosely drained
½ cup diced roasted red pappers (from jar)
1 cup sour cream
3 -4 large chicken breasts poached & shredded
½ diced onion, 2-3 minced cloves of garlic cooked until soft
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp each salt/pepper
3-4 cups shredded cheese (I use the ‘taco mix)
3 tlb. fresh chopped cilantro
1 bag taco chips
Preheat oven to 350. Cook and shred the chicken, set aside. Cook the onions & garlic in a little butter until soft, then mix with the chicken. Mix the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoe/chilies, sour cream , red peppers, cumin, salt/papper and 2tlb. cilantro, set aside. To assemble the casserole – spray a dish with high sides (like a lasagna pan) with pam. Layer crushed taco chips, then chicken mix, then sauce, then cheese …. Repeat 3 times ending with cheese. Bake covered for 45 min. Pull out of oven and cover with one more layer of crushed chips and the remaining tlb. of fresh cilantro. Bake uncovered 10 more min. Let stand 5 minutes, then dig in!
Notes: You could also add a layer of corn or black beans

I drank after my mom once, KZ. Then she told me bronchitis was going around her office. I did get it….wonder if it is viral sometimes. But it did go straight to a cough…no cold. Hope you get some relief.

Good morning – “fine, I wear stupid sombrero…”
I think I’ll make tacos tonight, though AV’s chicken enchilada casserole looks delish!
Hope you get some relief, KZ.
Poor Abby, yakkfests are no fun at all. Comet went thru that a couple of weeks ago – at one point he puked 4 times in one day. I withheld crunchies for a day and switched him to I/d formula for a few days. The downside to not having free range of crunchies is that he sniffed out the ones for the outdoor kitties. At least he is better and after some elbow grease, my carpets are clean.
It’s another grey and chilly day here in Jersey and another good day for the wood burner. The upside to that is that Leela couldn’t be happier than when she’s warming her face in front of it!

ROTFLOL “… Doing the hat dance and wear the stupid sombrero.”

Wow that cough doesn’t seem good KZ. I thought bronchitis was a virus and didn’t know they used antibiotics to treat it.

Oh, poor Abby. 🙁 It’s good that someone is happy with the with the Joisey weather, JJ.

‘rita fountain-mmm!

Here’s my contribution:

Chilly here too JJ, sorta, for May that is. Strong drink would be a plan for me, right about now. But nothing on offer ‘cept virtually.
KZ, good that you’re seeing doc and hope that meds rid you of cough.
OK, anyone notice multiple postings of same initial post over past 3 days? I commented on this to KM and hope that it’s an easily fixed glitch.

Had a pleasant walk little while ago – here’s proof:

Spotted tulips in dappled shade today – enjoy 🙂

OK, where’s Tux – hey kit – let’s do it! Time to snuggle on the always purrfect patio!
Ah, this is the best! Purrrrzzz…zzz…zz..

It’s happy hour here, and if it isn’t where you are, remember, it’s happy hour somewhere!
Can’t let today slip by without this tune. Enjoy!

Thanks for the well wishes all! Yes, I got some antibiotics and if it’s a contagious virus it’s true that antibiotics won’t help, but I’m left with an infection in the lungs that the Z-pack should help. It’s funny cuz I asked him if he thought it was a virus and he said==”How the hell would I know”==(well, it WAS funny) but without testing he isn’t going to know. Then he said we have seen a lot of this in the last few weeks, instead of the flu, it’s this. Could be caused by allergies too, as the pollen count has been so ridiculous. The Z-pack is already doing it’s job and the coughing is productive (and very gross) 🙁 sorry. I just want to feel better!
Oh, and I need to write that recipe down AV–sounds wonderful!

So you’ll be BBQ-ing iguana tonite for dinner, JJ? 😉
KZ, your doc actually said “How the hell?” Well he’s forthcoming to say the least. At least you’re on the mend and productive cough gets the c**p out of your system.
Some of you might recall the friendly kitty who showed up in condo just last week (actually she was under a car in garage, and thank goodness made her presence known via meowing.) Today I saw her ambling down sidewalk, but she did have a collar on so looks like she has a home which makes me feel a bit better, although IMHO peeps should keep tabs on their kitties.

JK-Have you noticed the tulips are especially colorful this year or is that just me?

With all the hoomins and their kits moving in, your apartment complex is turning into a real cat house! 😆

I’m glad the kit seems to have a home, KJ.

A doctor that’s forthcoming? Great! It’s good that your cough is productive already.

I planted some petunias and pink creeping phlox this morning. I went swimming afterwards. Wee

I wish that I were there too, JJ. Somedays “anyplace but this” seems like an option, referring more to my state of mind than to anything else. *Sigh* But that one-hit wonder is supposedly based on peeps being able to pick up ad-free stations from across the border. “What does he say?” Cool earworm. Bet iguana tastes like chicken. Only more slithery LOL. And now must get back to watching last night’s “Criminal Minds” and ideally cop some restful zzzzz’s …
