Everything is Better Drunk-Right?

Geeks love food, and my Geek is no exception. He and his friends took me to one of their favorite Mexican spots in Chicago when we were dating. We had an amazing meal with a great group of geeks who treated my like one of the guys.

The appetizer really was a wonder of molten cheese, meat, and a flavor that could only come from my old friend Tequila. The name of this was Queso Fundido.(Cheese Meltdown). Holy Mother, a trilogy of awesome with a side a grease.

I hate cheap tequila, but I never turn down free booze (unless it is grape or anise flavored). Having had multiple parties and random bottles of liquor brought including cheap tequila a thought popped into my head- This is the perfect time to play let's make drunk cheese!

*In no way am I claiming this to be authentic to anything else.
*This is not Diet Food.

Ingredients:

14 oz. Beef Chorizo
16 oz. Chihuahua Cheese
8 oz. Cheddar
splashes of Tequila

In a medium saucepan, brown the Chorizo with a few dashes of Tequila. After browning, drain some of the grease off. Spread the browned Chorizo in a baking pan. Add a little Tequila. Top with the Cheeses and sprinkle just a little Tequila over the cheese. Bake at 350 until Cheese bubbles and browns. You may want to use a broiler if you would like a more molten and browned top.
Goes great with Tacos and Refried Beans. Yummy and Heartburn wonderful!



Lets get that meat drunk!



Cheese, the Oooey Gooey Reason for Living.



Spread that meat like a Hooker spreads her Legs.



Layer on the Cheese like a Hipster and scarfs.



Time to Get that Cheese Drunk!



Bonus Points if you get your cat to look at you from above disapprovingly.



Bake that Bitch!



Mmmmm melty.



Enjoy.

Crackheads are not the servers at Cracker Barrel

I love a fun crackhead. I mean where else would you see a man about 9 pm at night running down a parking lot with a large potted plant from Menards (after they closed) in Hoffman Estates. I am pretty sure by the cracked out look and meandering running he wasn't your "clean" plant stealer. We had to much fun trying to figure out if the dude was gonna try and smoke it or sell it to yuppies from drug money. Either way it gave us a laugh at addiction in progress, kinda like the whole Charlie Sheen thing, only I think some people are just wanting him to die.

I think alot of people who have had a complicated raising up have a few of there own favorite crackhead moments. My college roommate, from the south side of Chicago and transplanted to central Illinois, woke me up in the pre-dawn hours to share the news that he saw his first crackwhore on Market Street since he moved to school. It was a special moment that you toast with a box of Pop-Tarts (because it has the word tart and it was in the house) I am not trying to piss-off the crackhead community, but lets be real, they are a great source of humor when they aren't robbing you for crack money.

Road Relationships

So I was reminded recently of one of my favorite type of relationships. They are usually fleeting, but they leave you satisfied. No names are given, but a bond is created. They are like a one night stand sans the STD risk. These are the road buddy relationships. From short in-town errand runs to the long haul road trips I have been fortunate to have a few of these buddies.

I know that few drivers can leave you with a bad case of road rage, but every now and then one will make you happy for a minute with humanity. The other day while coming home from work a very nice driver in a hunter-green Jeep Wrangler coming from the opposite direction flashed his lights letting me know a cop was up ahead clocking. Thank you Jeep Wrangler Dude!

Almost every year we trek south and have a 21 to 23 hour car drive. I love this journey, as you can see things from the road that make you fall in love with this country over, and over again. From the hills of Tennessee to the red clay of Georgia the trip is just breathtakingly gorgeous. However, it is the fellow road buddies who keep you sane with the hour after hour of driving.

Last year we drove the trip with only stops for gas. It was a long drive. Luckily I had two other cars that were on the same highway for a majority of my shift of driving. It was great. We had this little posse cruising into the night. We took turns in who was 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the line going down the road. We would slow down alerting the next guy if we saw cops (not that we were ever speeding ;), We would wave to one another as we passed each other to take over lead car duties. It was team work at its finest. Thank you Dark Blue Chevy Impala and White Toyota Camry. You made the trip so much easier!

Kool-Aid Hair

My mind gets derailed off the thought train alot.It works like this chugga-chugga WTF? something sparkley....choo-choo.

As I was making pink lemonade last night,and it made me think of making Kool-Aid as a kid. Who doesn't like Kool-Aid. I mean for someone like me who is allergic to fruit and fruit juices (except for Lemons, Limes, and Raspberries), artificial sweeteners like Splenda, nutra-sweet, and the rest, and semi-lactose intolerant, the totally fake Kool-Aid choked full of sugar was awesome! My favorite it Red, as I have no idea what the flavors are called (For all I know it was called Red). Ok, so then thinking of Kool-Aid reminded me of back in the day when my friends would color their hair with this wonder of multi-tasking powder (other than nose candy powder).

Some of you may have done this. I couldn't as my natural hair is just to dark for any Kool-Aid color to show :( , Plus I worked in a hair salon as a teenager and got whatever I wanted for my hair as part of my pay. Purple looks good on me by the way, Green not so much.

If you don't know about Kool-Aid coloring it is basically 2 packets of Kool-Aid (unsweetened makes it less sticky) and conditioner and mix it, put it on hair and wrap with plastic wrap for a few hours. There are a ton of other variations on how to do it too. Then you too can be a candy colored hottie!

What I want to know is, what have you guys done with items other than there original intended purpose?????? Do tell! Comment Me here!
