| Cinco de Mayo Nachos |
Woke with a mystery cough and feeling the kind of low that I decided to make another doctor's appointment. Somehow P was on the upswing, so I rode with him to get groceries to Fairway by the water. I needed to get it up for my team and try to pull off a celebrational dish for the holiday. I've never made a cheese sauce before and thought that might be interesting for steak nachos. It was good, but a different nacho experience entirely. I felt bad because I could enjoy the fresh take but P is not a wet nacho type of guy. He likes traditional cheese on chips with a jalapeno, extras on the side that you can dip and add but nothing smothered like this. You would think after so many years, I would never falter but the truth is I had been obsessed with watching
Sam the Cooking Guy on YouTube at night and he drove me to this sauce. I had to make it. We have a similar take on food and I found an odd culinary compadre during lockdown.

Making the basics is not hard at all but there is a lot of chopping, roasting, mashing, mixing and blending so after I got this little trio made I took a long nap before finishing the job.
