Nachos


I had my day all planned. It was going to be a repeat of last weekend. I was going to go into town, get some bits for my computer (another game controller, though also a USB hub this time), brunch in Burger King, and go to the supermarket on my way back.

Sadly, when I got to town, it was shut. Well, that's possibly not completely accurate. They've blocked off a vital part of the one way system. I'm not sure how much, because I couldn't get anywhere. I attempted to get to the car park another way, but I've only been driving in this town since I was 17, so I've still not learned my way around yet.

It's going to be closed for weeks. There's some lame excuse about them doing vital work on a gas main. Why do they never learn? They keep insisting on putting gas and water mains underneath roads. Why can't they put them somewhere more convenient? Such as above ground?

I didn't have any change which meant I couldn't park in one of the many "Pay and Display" places, and so I gave up and went to the supermarket. Now in a state of near starvation, having been daydreaming about burgers for the previous couple of hours.

Consequently, I ended up with a whole load of nice food. Brunch is nachos with "Monterray Jack" cheese, salsa dip and sour cream, washed down with orange juice and lemonade. I don't know if these nachos are very genuine - they look like Doritos to me. And the salsa isn't spicy enough, and as usual with fancily-named American cheeses, the Monterray Jack is very bland.

But it makes a nice change, and the whole thing only took a minute in the microwave (when it comes to cooking Bee is my role model).

Have a good weekend!

Isn't it the worst when you've got an appetite for something and then can't have it?

Driving me bonkers.

I love Nachos with Cheese and Jalapenos and Salsa and Guacamole...I love Nachos. Period. Have a good weekend yourself

looks like you'll have to take one of those big red buses shopping next time.

Have you ever seen my cousin vinny with joe pesci? There is a scene where they make fun off the fact that a whole store was closed for the flu. Must be serious of they closed a whole town.

I'm supposed to be first but whatever.

I had cereal for breakfast, lame huh?

It's probably zombies. I'd stay far away.

Yesterday I made nachos. Not to brag but I make pretty good nachos, my son who is picky said "this are the best nachos I have EVER had" (or maybe he said "had" but I am not sure since I have a hard time with the whole "have/had" thing and don't pay attention to that part...)
so there you have it.

Well, you may not have been able to park, but at least the snack looks good.

Kat:

I still haven't had that burger...

Dan:

Maybe I shall, though they're mulit-coloured here.

Bee:

No, I've not watched that...

Jean Knee:

Ordinarily I wouldn't criticise, but after all the trouble I went to to make those nachos, I think you could have done a bit better than mere cereal.

NCS:

I think I'll boycott town until they open the roads again. If you have any leftovers feel free to email me with them...

Chris:

It was certainly filling. I might even have them again some time.
