That's Na Cho Cheese

Mr. X and his new girlfriend came over last night to watch a movie. We had even picked out what we were going to watch: The MST3K Essentials DVD. But we never got that far, because we heard the sweet siren's song of -- THE NACHO.

Step One: Go to the grocery store and blow a ton of money on nachos, Mexican cheese, sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning and ground beef.

Step Two: In the oven, melt the whole bag of cheese overtop the nachos.

Step Three: Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning on the grill. (Mr. X and I managed to make this step last two and a half hours.)

Step Four: Pour the salsa over the cheesy chips, pour the sour cream over the salsa, and pour the ground beef over the whole thing. Be careful not to slobber on it.

Step Five: Everyone eat off the same pan. Don't stop eating until everyone is grotesquely overstuffed.

Step Six: Look at the clock to discover that it is now 10 pm. (We began this adventure at 7 pm.) Agree to skip the DVD.

These nachos were so good I felt like I had a hangover later. And then the next day -- Montezuma’s revenge. Today at work I finished using the bathroom minutes before my 11 am appointment showed up. As bad karma would have it, she had to use the restroom before we started. She came back a couple of minutes later concerned that there was a "heavy natural gas smell" in the back of the house. I told her that I would get the landlord right on it...

Now that's the measure of some good nachos!
