Jan 30, 2009: Super Snack - Page 2

I'd eat some of it. Mostly just taking some of those tortilla chips and dipping them in the salsa end zone. That would be fine. The twinkies and bacon are kind of gross though.

This snack, which screams, "eat me," in its own way, is the Jeffrey Dahmer Special. (AMC had a biographical movie about him on last night.) It was concocted by a person who sees his/her fellow human beings as just so many snacks. Every time this person bites into a corn chip, pops a cheese doodle in his/her mouth or munches down a handful of Chex mix, he/she grins wickedly and imagines that the salty taste fits right in, and crunching sounds are from the bones.

There was some guy on NPR who wrote a book on the Super Bowl who said that the National Avacado Council (yea there is a trade group for everything) estimates that on Super Bowl Sunday if you add up all of the guacamole eaten that day it would fill a pro football stadioum 9 feet deep. Be a great place to take a belly flop!

They're lining up on their own 10 and it's first and goal at the 10.

I'm betting on the white cheese team because somebody has et the yellow cheese team running back.

Man, now I have a craving for queso and guacamole and salsa. But is it strong enough to haul the kids to the TexMex place for lunch? Decisions, decisions...

Yeah, but... they don't serve queso and guacamole and salsa.

Ah hell. That does it. I'm just going to go to the grocery store and get taquitos, guacamole, and stuff to make queso. (I always have salsa in the house, at least.)

Flint · 01-30-2009, 11:07 AM

Gawd, I could eat Tex Mex every freakin' day. In fact, having a going-away luncheon for a co-worker, and I brought Pooka's enchilada cassarole.

jinx · 01-30-2009, 11:16 AM

Oh, I loved Mario's... used to go there for lunch all the time (my office was 2 lights away). The food was good anyway... the servers screaming "TAXI!" all the time was annoying...

We're going to a cow-orker's sb party, and I think I'll make salsa chicken served on corncakes. Guess I've thrown my lot in with Arizona rather than Pittsburgh.

I don't work with recipes, but I'm thinking something like this:
Buy a rotisserie chicken, cool and shred meat (mostly dark meat). Run it through with a knife if the shreds are too long.
Mix with one of Rick Bayless's tomatillo salsas. Rest overnight in the fridge to allow flavors to mingle. Before serving, reheat, drain off any liquid and combine chicken with minced red onion, chilies, cilantro. Top with queso fresco and pepitas (if I can find them!)

Make dollar pancakes with cornbread batter (with roasted corn kernels and garlic added).

Serve a bowl of the salsa chicken surrounded by corncakes on a large platter.

Stormieweather · 01-30-2009, 11:43 AM

I can't stand guacamole. Or most of the stuff on the 'platter'. Now, if it consisted of olives, cheese, salami, pickles, and maybe some chips...you'd have to pry me off it.

TheMercenary · 01-30-2009, 11:42 AM

I think they would get bogged down in the Cheese end.

It's all fun and games now, but it'll never survive a category 5

Shawnee123 · 01-30-2009, 06:05 PM

Even in places where you are supposed to throw peanut shells on the floor, I always felt bad about doing so.

Cloud · 01-30-2009, 06:52 PM

haha. We have Texas Roadhouse. yum. But I usually dump the peanut shells on the table. I figure, it's still messy, still fun, but the waiters can just swipe 'em off.

capnhowdy · 01-30-2009, 08:12 PM

The game would be long for my team. First thing I'd eat would be the goalposts.
