Food and other such holidays

Made a road trip recently to San Antonio and had the King Kong Nacho's at Chacho's.... Everything is bigger in Texas

Ugh, that looks like cheese sauce! Good nachos should at least use a variety of real cheese, and that plate looks decidedly lacking in jalepenos. Good god man, I expect more from Texas considering nachos are a Tex-Mex dish!

 

Tell me you at least had a good beer?!!

Margarita Mondays at La Cantina. Everything is the best with a couple of those in your system! Yum! A good margarita is about the only alcohol I indulge in these days.

Sounds like Barrio in St. Paul is the place to go in this neck of the tundra.

Best margarita:

 

4 parts of your favorite tequila

2 parts orange liqueur

1 part lime juice

 

You can add pomegranate juice, or cranberry juice. I have used homemade ginger simple syrup also. sometimes I add limeade from Trader Joes. The key is good ingredients.

That looks disgusting.

 

Then again, I've never been a fan of Nachos.

[Craig Arko]

If push comes to shove; I'd go with homemade raclette and a glass of mead and never touch another nacho again.

The camera didn't do it justice... It's a white cheese queso, and the jalapenos were hiding underneath the chicken. I had a few Pacifico's to go with that monstrous appetizer. Took 4 grown men to take that down.

Suggestions on what brand to get for Orange Liqueur? Really in the mood for a margarita today...

I'm starting to believe more and more that you may be a communist diehard... I didn't forget that you and Chief installed cameras to monitor me during Minnesota Twins Whine Line. Now you're saying you aren't a fan of Nachos?!!

Cointreau, if price is no object.

Citronage from Patron comes in different qualities. I usually buy the one priced around $20.

Sounds good thanks. Will be bolting to the liquor store as soon as the clock strikes 5:01.

Ok thanks, I'm relieved and my faith is restored.

Why wait? Fake sick and get going ... NOW!

There is no way diehard has even one molecule of commie in him.

 

Now, fascist on the other hand...

[biggentleben]

I'm one of those lame people when it comes to nachos - meat, cheese sauce, real cheese, tortilla chips. No onions, no peppers.

Today is National Vanilla Cupcake day. Definitely a fan of that. 

More importantly, today is the U.S. Marine Corp's birthday. Established in 1775, 240 years of service from generations of soldiers. Thank you for continuing to keep us safe Marines!

Who?!, who doesn't like the cupcake?!!

 

Btw, are we talking vanilla icing, or the boring cake part?

[Vanimal46]

Just the boring cake part. You can let your freak flag fly on icing! I could go for one right now....

Hmm ... I prefer not vanilla myself.

I like icing.

 

I wonder when National Red Velvet Day is? I'd take the day off.

[twinsnorth49]

Red Velvet?! ....oh yeah!

[USAFChief]

Happy Veteren's Day to all who served, and thank you!

Uh ... you, too, Chief!

[Vanimal46]

Thank you Chief for your service! Glad there's bad a$$es like you out there to protect us.

[Vanimal46]

It's also National Sundae Day. So pick up some ice cream and make yourself a tasty treat!

[jimmer]

Happy Veterans Day everyone!

[USAFChief]

"Day" seems wholly insufficient to recognize the sundae.

 

I propose "National Sundae Century," and I pledge to do my part to ensure proper celebrations for the duration.

 

Who's with me?

With a DQ just down the street from work, I'm there!

There's one DQ that I know of in Austin within driving distance of my work. I was so disappointed that the dilly bars are no longer prepared at the stores... And the only flavors available were chocolate and cherry. What happened to butterscotch dilly bars?!

[Mike Sixel]

DQ.....is that even actually ice CREAM?
