  23. I haven't made these...found this on the web and they looked good to me. Chimichanga Appetizers: These can take some time to prepare. Depending on how you want to go about preparing them.

Heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer. Adjust the seasonings if need be. If it's too thick additional water can be added. Remove it from heat. Set aside. Cooked and thinly sliced Beef Brisket or Sirloin Beef can be used. These were made using leftover 1/2 Sirloin Mesquite Smoked Roast. Once it's sliced. it then needs to be shredded, fat removed then placed into a large saucepan. Add 1 cup (to start with ) of the sauce to the meat. Heat on medium heat. You don't want this too saucy. Just enough for it to simmer. Turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix it around to keep it from burning. Remove it from the heat, covered. And let it come to room temp. Warm up your Tortillas Or Egg Roll Wrappers, on a paper lined plate. Microwave for 1 minute. Just enough to make them pliable. Spread 1 T. of the meat mixture to the bottom edge of the Corn Tortilla or Egg Roll Wrapper. Add some cheese. Roll up tight. Place seam side down until your ready to cook them. Deep fry @350 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes. Or until they float and are crispy. ***Or oven bake them on a cookie sheet seam side down at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until crisp. Mix Sour Cream with Chopped Green Onions in a bowl and put on the side for dipping.
  24. We weren't in the same accident...my accident was in 1999...I wasn't driving..went through a windshield and flew 50 ft...was stupid and was with a drunk driver..never again! I called my attorney in Omaha and told him that the court was holding money for me..and he asked me... how did I know that? Crap, I thought that he knew about it..but..to this day I don't know for sure if he knew that they were holding money or not. I said that I think my sister told me when I was in rehab..I have no idea if I am remembered her telling me this or if it was just in my head. I just new that the court had the money period! LIke I have said before...I knew things that other people didn't know when I came out of the coma and some stuff stuck with me. I know this sounds completely nuts..but..it is true. I have no idea what information you need. I would tell you if I knew. I just feel like I got screwed big time by the court!! Crap..wish I could go and sue the hospital I was in...in Kansas..but..it is too late for that. I got a cornea transplant out of their negligence! I asked the sister who will talk to me..why they didn't sue that hospital and all she could say was.."Oh, we thought about it." That pissed me off big time! I wish they would of NOT THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND WOULD OF DONE IT! GEEZ.. So my attorney looked into it.saw that the court had money that they were holding..they were about to give the money away till I kept persisting that it was there and my attorney kept them from giving it away just before time ran out to claim it. So the attorney went to the court and asked for the money..and that stupid judge gave the money away to Medicaid...and my attorney threated to appeal the judge's decision and Medicaid decided to give me 5,000. I just blame myself for not having my attorney appeal that stupid judges decision! and wonder to this day if I screwed up big time! Sorry this is so long..I just feel real screwed by that judge snd I am pissed off big time! Yes we had different attorneys..2 different accidents.
