^ Oh man, those are some gooooooooooooood nachos, cleome and Cobie!
Last batch I made included:
Salsa, homemade, with tomatoes, onions, lemon (lime would be better but is kinda rare here) and oregano Olives Ground beef using our secret family recipe Yogurt (on a health kick and it tastes surprisingly good) Melted cheddar cheese
Got some good ideas though... I've always used beef, but trying on some other meat sounds awesome.

Dark meat turkey has more fat in it than white, but also more nutrients like Zinc. Its flavor holds up better to the Verde sauce, too. (You can also drain off some of the fat post-browning. Or rinse it in a mesh strainer under warm water briefly before returning it to the fry pan. Then you add the sauce for a short simmer --maybe fifteen minutes or so, uncovered and getting an occasional stir-- but I never remove the fat because it takes the good cooking juices with it.)

I miss eating nachos. Even though they make me fat, they're just so darned good.

Okay, it's almost 2AM here, but I have to go out for a walk or else I'll make nachos. Damn you.

Went to a movie the other night and had nachos for my snack. Movie nachos are pretty hard to screw up but they manage to do it on a regular basis here

Tenzil makes some good nachos. Good thinking of Ayla to bring some home from the 20th century!
I just hope it's really synthesized beef that he's using...
Why must power be so elusive?

Should we be questioning why you keep getting the nachos? Or is it like gambling, in that the few times they're good they're very very good?
That intermittent payoff is the most addictive I hear.

It is. This principle is also used in animal obedience training and theories of reward.

I do so love nachos. Lots of refried beans and black olives and sour cream on them. Anybody want to start a "what's the best cheese for nachos" smackdown?

What did they put, or fail to put, VL? The chips are often overdone They rarely have salsa and nacho cheese at the same time Never any other toppings, not even something as simple as jalapenos

I love to say "nachos" with an accent I can't place. (Kind of a cross between California 'valley' talk and that dude from Napoleon Dynamite?!? )
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

w00t! Should be rockin'. (mr_cleome is also grilling zucchini and yellow squash to go on the side.)

I can't believe I actually had to purchase zucchini today. Normally, there's so much of it around this time of year that neighbors leave it on their front lawns with signs saying, "FREE!" Or "PLEASE TAKE!" The (until recently) super-cool summer in this area has obviously affected a lot of summer crops: including zucchini and tomatoes.
It was money well-spent, however.
[burrrrp!]
Now to go for a brisk walk and then have some fresh melon for dessert.

Maybe I should buy some dirt and start my own windowsill garden. I'll probably only be able to grow herbs, though. And my cooking schedule is so irregular, the last time I bought sweet potatoes they rotted before I could use them.

Ah, nachos. Blaze and I shared one with cheese sauce, sour cream, beef and olives alongside three pitchers of frozen cocktails. Our favorite - chocolate, coffee, milk and vodka.

I made Nachos last week. I bought a bunch of stuff at the store to make nachos tonight ... but I filled up on fish sticks.
I put refried beens, chips, tomatoes, onion and cheese. (and a bit of store bought salsa)
the tomatoes were great, store bought salsa not so much ... this time I got olives as well.
I used a mozarella chedder mix that melted great. I just threw it all in the oven but then i had to use a fork to eat it at the end.
i left some chips out of the mix so i could have some dipping chips but ... i ate them while it was baking ... so no dipping chips just gooey pan nachos!

Whenever Blaze and I go to our favorite watering hole, we get the special: 3 pitchers of cocktails and the nachos (sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, ground beef, salsa).
The nachos go great with the soco shake slammer (coffee, chocolate syrup, milk and vodka!)

Went out for dinner, and saw pizza topped with nachos, tomatoes, onions and beef. Wasn't able to order, but mmmmmm! It looked delicious!
