Sandy, As usual you did it again. A fantastic Mamorial Day Rally, Great Food, Friends and a Beautiful tribute to all Veterans, Thanks for a Wonderful Week-end. Looking forward to the next Campout. Made it home safe at about 2:00 p.m.

Thanks Sandy for another fine Texas Boomer rally. Of course seeing you driving that truck this morning gave all the men ideas and the ladies confidence. I pray all our Boomers made it home safely or wherever their next destination may have been.

Nice Pictures, Paul !
Enjoyed re-living the visit again.
Thank you to our Texas Boomer Family for making this Holiday weekend so enjoyable.
Take time to let the owners of Miller Creek how much we appreciate them, as well.

Awesome pics! You always get photos that others don't catch which only makes it better! With your permission, I'm going to see if Don can "lift" them from your blog to put up on our website!

Here you go...

MEXICAN HAYSTACKS
The best layered salad EVER

INGREDIENTS CALCULATED FOR 30 PEOPLE
Adjust the amounts for smaller or larger group

17 ½ cups of cooked rice (not instant rice)

3-5 large bags of Fritoes or Corn Chips

* 2 - 3 gallons of Chili *

* 3 lbs shredded lettuce *

15-18 tomatoes – diced

2 ½ lbs onion – diced

* 4# bag of Shredded Cheese *

2 large cans black sliced olives

2 large cans green sliced olives

* 2# bag chopped pecans *

1 -2 large bags shredded coconut

* 2 large containers Salsa *

The items listed aove with an * can be purchased in large
quantities at Wal-Mart or Sam's Clubs across the USA

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
When serving a large group, put all the ingredients
into individual bowls or containers.
The chili is best heated in a large roasting pot.

Line the containers on a long table in the order listed above
and everyone in the group can go down the line to
layer their own salad to their personal taste
starting with the rice and topping off with the salsa!

The FUN ingredients
Pecans and Coconut sound like they don't belong on a salad,
but the taste added to the other ingredients
just tops it off!
