As long as I can remember nachos are a food group! I have friends now that are like that could be a good dinner, or really that's all you made for dinner. Um yeah!
There are so many kinds of nachos too! Tonight for instance I think I am making more traditional Mexican nachos. On tostada shells. Then there are sloppy nachos the velveta cheese variety! Yummmmm, and then there is Chili nachos! Then there is the classic the way momma did it Queso Nachos.
When we were growing up our mom's singing group for church where the Nacho girls(Queso). In highschool Friday was bomb because Trish got nachos and let me mooch.(Sloppy). Now on game night I make nachos pretty much everytime. I think I made tikki once and things you eat with ranch that is so another blog!
There are many conversations that go best with nachos. Like when I told Dustin he was going to be a dad for the first time...Debating over skipping class or if we got caught by our biolgy teachers. What boys are hot. Mr. Whats his names Butt....I swear still embarassed. What song to sing, what game to play , and Who is beating my lovely Dodger tonight!
So the Nachos are in the oven.....2 more minutes..Prior conversations about crack potatoes have left me famished!
Here goes.
