"Have you ever heard of the real King Ranch? It is in South Central Texas, and is over one million acres. I dont know the current status of the ranch, but for many years it was owned by King family. They originally made their fortune in the east Texas oil fields.

"They still find skeletons on the ranch (human ones). Back in the old days it was a well known fact that if you wanted to murder someone, you just took them out on the ranch property so far that they could never walk out and simply leave them to die. If anyone was missing, the last thing you would dream of doing would be to search on the ranch-it would be an impossible job.

"The King Ranch Chicken Casserole has been around for as long as I can remember (I am 76)- much longer than computers (and by now, most cooks also) It is a delicious recipe and was originally much longer and more complicated as I remember- but I have eaten this one and it is surprisingly delicious also. Regards, Howard"
