    I always keep nacho fixin's on hand. The ingredients are easily found and keep well. All you need for the best authentic nachos are these three things: images-3.jpeg or images-2.jpeg (Guerrero or Mission -- don't use Old ElPaso, they're too thick) and images-4.jpeg shredded or slices, and images-5.jpeg or images-6.jpeg but fresh are better.

    Spread some cheddar on the tostada shells, put several sliced jalapeños on top, put the shells on a cookie sheet and stick under a broiler for 30-60 seconds. You can use a microwave in a pinch, but a broiler (or at least an oven) is best 'cause it toasts the cornshell and melts the cheese more evenly than a microwave.
    Authentic nachos don't use meat or beans.;) If you've never had authentic nachos, you're in for a real treat.:)

    Still no nachos.

    Taco Bell denied my nacho request on Thanksgiving. I had to try going tot the airport today to see if I could get a walk in global entry appointment. Tried to Taco Bell and closed for lunch.

    I was at the market yesterday and didn't pick up these items. I should have since I looked at them.

    If I can make the market before it closes today I'll get some.

    Dammit. The Taco Bell next to the market I went to was open but I already ate at a secondary choice diner which also had no nacho offering.

    I got some things to make something that will make nachos, but I'll get a redo soon enough.

    Some teeny bopper rear ended me on the icy roads a couple of days ago. I inspected my bumper, saw nothing, told her to be more careful and went on my merry way. Thought that was the end of it, but then today I discovered that there is a small crack where one did not exist before. Sigh. That's what I get for being the nice guy, should have gotten her insurance info.

    How can I convince my mother in law that we don't need Christmas presents? She pestered my husband about it at dinner.

    Also, she basically ignored me the whole time and snubbed my desserts.

    :(

    Only half of our homemade apple pie was consumed today. Some of my family members prefer pumpkin pie, made with canned pumpkin, smothered in Cool Whip.

    Oh well, that means more homemade apple pie for my wife & me.

    Edit--Maybe we should've stewed the apples with tons of sugar to make a gooey filling, and smothered the top crust in layer of sugar 1/4 inch thick...........yuck!!

    Sounds like her loss more than yours.

    If you figure it out let me know. I've been trying to convince my family for the past several years not to get me anything. I even suggested donations to charity, which I would strongly prefer, but apparently it's just not Christmas without some mindless consumerism thrown in.

    The best part about it is that I get told off for being inconsiderate. Huh?

    It has taken me years to get people to stop buying me gifts. Having a very small 799 sq ft. apartment explains a great amount to people.

    Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.

    You have years of opportunities. Don't give up.

    We have just about everything we actually need, and what we might want is pretty much unnecessary. I agree with make a donation to a worthwhile charity, food bank, etc.

    I tell my family, no gifts also. So to insure, we all agreed that hand made gifts are the only acceptable options. At least it will actually mean something.

    Since I am in Williamsburg waiting for they might be giants to start, I just hatched a plan to get nachos once the concert is over.
