2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 can green beans
1 can cream of mushroom
2 small potatoes
butter
foil
Dice chicken breasts and split between 2 larges pieces of foil. Drain green beans, split between packets. Split cream of mushroom between packets. Dice potatoes and split between packets. Put small pats of butter in each packet. Liberally season each packet with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Close packets (rolling edges to make as airtight as possible).
Place packets on liner (they'll probably leak a little). Put in oven at 350 for 1 to 1.5 hours. Serve with shredded cheese and jalapenos.
Sometimes I add carrots. Usually I open the refridgerator and pantry and see if there is anything else in there that sounds good added to the packets.
It is easier to dice the chicken if you do not let it completely thaw out.

Mexico January 2009
So 13 January 2009, Jim and I got on an airplane and flew to Mexico City. We met up with Ralph and Judy there and stayed overnight at a Holiday Inn, then flew to Merida, Yucatan on the 14th. We picked up our car and drove to Campeche, Campeche. When we got to Campeche, we went to Pepe y Minerva's house to pick up the card that would let us in the gate at San Lorenzo (where Ralph's house is).
Now, when I say the card that lets us in the gate......you probably think I mean a card to give us magnetic access through a gate, right? Not quite the case there. This is a small laminated card that you show the man (Jose Luis) that lives in the little house by the gate so that he will let us into San Lorenzo. Cool, huh?
So, it was a great reunion with Pepe and Minerva. Jim and I hadn't seen them in 3 years and they both looked great! They are a lot of fun to be around.
We then picked up groceries and went out to the house to set up. There is a bit involved in that, taking the furniture down and removing plastic and making up beds and stuff like that. We came back into Campeche later in the evening and went to see Ricardo y Blanca. Jim & I got to meet their 2 kids (who were born since the last time we were there). They are both beautiful kids and so much fun! Ricardo asked us to be at his house at 10 the next morning as he had a van and driver to take us to Calakmul. That was wonderful of him! It is about a 5 hour drive and gets you within an hour of Guatamala.
So Thursday morning we got up and went to Ricardo and Blanca's. We said good morning to Blanca and the kids, met our driver (Juan Fernando) and were off to Calakmul. Oops! We forgot the sandwiches we packed for the next day. Sure was a good thing San Lorenzo is on the way down.
We stayed at a great little hotel called Calakmul Hotel in Xpujil. The interesting thing about the hotel was that there was no glass in the windows. There were screens and wooden shutters, but no glass. It was kind of neat.
So we got up bright and early Friday morning (Happy Birthday Jim!) and drove another hour and a half to Calakmul. After getting to the gates, I thought we would see pyramids as soon as we got in........I can be so naive sometimes!

We walked on a trail like this for a LONG time......
I decided to take a pic of my honey.....
OK, this is the teaser. I will write more later with LOTS of pics of Calakmul. I climbed 5 pyramids!
