Our Weekend with Good Friends in Wyoming

After we left Custer State Park we traveled to Wyoming to see some very good friends who used to live in Texas.  We had such a good time visiting with Bill and Sheila and their family. 


They made us feel so welcome and it was really nice to get a little break from our tiny little trailer.   They made us feel like we were in the finest bed and breakfast around with delicious meals and all the comforts of home.

The first night we were there Sheila made a delicious taco salad.  She makes it with a salad dressing that we don't have here in Texas, called  Dorothy Lynch and it is kind of like a french dressing but even better.  They didn’t want us to be without so they sent us home with two bottles which we have enjoyed!

SHEILA’S TACO SALAD


1 red onion (chopped)
4 tomatoes
lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup of Dorothy Lynch Salad Dressing (or French)
6 oz. bag of tortilla chips
1 large avocado
1 lb. ground meat
1 can drained kidney beans
¼ tsp. salt
garlic powder (to taste)


Chop vegetables and mix together.
Brown ground meat, season, and add drained kidney beans. Simmer about 10 minutes.  Then mix into cold salad.   Serve with extra tortilla chips, and taco sauce (ole Ortego) plus extra Dorothy Lynch.












Johnny and Bill have known each other since they were about four years old.  Bill and Sheila left Texas about 40 years ago so we all had a lot catching up to do.   Now it's their turn to come see us in Texas!
