Carnival of the Recipes #40, already? And did someone say "Comedy tonight"?

Gee this week has flown by... Wonder Woman's de-bionicized and Carnival time has fogged in on cat feet...   It's already carnival time, and Carnival of the Recipes #40 is hitting concurrently with the Carnival of Comedy . Check all the goodies in the Carnival of the Recipes #40 at Curmudgeonry . Then, after snarfing up the goodies there, laugh off the pounds with the Carnival of Comedy #4 , posted by spacemonkey at IMAO .   My humble offerings (" Quick Cheese Popcorn "  and  " Secret agent... man?") are definitely on the lite side this week, but check them—and other posts—out while you're here.   UPDATE: Resitance is Futile's Taco Casserole is in the oven now.  My stomach's rumbling and my mouth's watering. Despite one silly misreading of the recipe (minor--a tad "wet" as a result, more cooking time) this recipe was as good as it looked. And it'll be even better when I make it without the (minor) mistake.   UPDATE #2: (Saturday) Taco Casserole was hit last night and as leftovers today.  Gullyborg makes mention of my eagerness for some menu variation on Resitance is Futile. Circular references, here we go!  ;~)
