Nachos or Spaghetti?
Replies
Why not both?
Because the other one will be tomorrow's dinner. And I'm a terrible cook so it's more like inflicting dinner on my family rather than serving it to them. Both would be too much.
I vote spaghetti.
Nachos!
Nachos sounds good. I'm making burritos.
Nachos
Lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and Spam.
For the record, of the above spaghetti is the only thing I would eat for dinner. We're having stir fry here... lazy, we are.
Nachos.
kanachick: Whichever takes less effort. Sauce from a can and noodles from a bag? Then go with spaghetti. Salsa from a jar, pre-grated cheese and chips from a bag? Then go with the nachos. You can always do a little more work...tomorrow.
mcglory, i'll see you one stir fry and raise you one reaaaaally lazy frozen pizza. And an unpeeled orange on everyone's plate. For color.
Um, I meant sauce from a jar.
Plain cheese and chips nachos or with the works on them? Handmade pasta? Handmade sauce? What kind of sauce?
Ahhh f'it, I go for nachos and beer.
Hmmmmmm. Kathy, I'm going to Vik's house for dinner. Tina is making Stove Top.
A-haaaha, Alan. No wonder we're married. We think too much alike what with all the questions and the angling and the copping out at the end.
spaghetti!
spaghetti...leftovers are usually better. Leftover nachos get far too soggy and yet stale at the same time. Yuk.
I would LOVE to have nachos for dinner. Spaghetti can wait.
How about spaghetti noodles with the nacho toppings?
Nachos!
you have to boil water for spags. Nachos can be done with the microwave. How hot is it?
What would one call a mix of spaghetti and nachos? Nachetti?
Spachos?
I would call it gross.
NAchos, definitely nachos.
So, what'd you have?
We went to Cali Burrito, Lady Grey I think you'd love this place. I had a rice bowl, which is like a burrito without the tortilla -- I had one with brown rice, black beans, chicken and guac. They have a lovely salsa verde, a salsa with corn and pintos, a mild red and a spicy red. All there for you to take as much of as you want. Yum! The boys had bean and cheese burritos with guacamole.
Pizza. But I went and picked up up. There was a little effort involved.
Thanks so much - spaghetti was the winner. It was the leftover chicken and peppers from the fajitas I made the other night thrown into a store bought sauce, some store bought pasta and beer.
Nachos will be tomorrow's dinner for anyone who's keeping track of the crap I feed my family. Maybe their next mommy/wife will be a better cook.
Mamagrrl, we went there last week. The wife was having a craving. Can't argue with a pregnant lady craving good food. I almost feel like it's healthy food there. Please don't tell me that it isn't.
kanachick, if it makes you feel any better, this is what my children eat every week: pizza, spaghetti, fish sticks, sandwiches, and annie's shells and cheese. I always make sure there's a salad or steamed vegetable but otherwise, it's a crapfest at my house too.
Alan - Oy vey, I actually get the Stove Top reference. It's been a long time since I'd heard that one.
M'grrl - round these parts, that is called a naked burrito.
And I can't believe it was still stuck in my head. But I did find out that they still make it and they have recipes!
Dang it. Now I want some stuffing. Guess I know what's for dinner for me tomorrow night.
StoveTop or homemade? I make stuffing frequently, because Thanksgiving and Christmas just aren't enough. I think I'll make it tomorrow with some pork chops. Yum.
Kanachick - I tell my husband all of the time that his next wife can cook and clean. He just has to wait until I'm dead to find her.
Ellie - we know a few men whose second marriages have been to much younger women so I frequently joke that my husband's next wife is probably in my daughter's class right now. Those marriages always make me scratch my head...and furrow my brow...and purse my lips...
Off topic, but if you double the butter called for on the box of stovetop, it's to die for. A heart attack on a plate, yes, but to die for. I know this because I did this accidentally when we threw my parents a 25th anniversary party and I was making it for a group. I actually went out for more butter because I thought I hadn't bought enough. Everyone raved about the stuffing, and I didn't figure it out until 2 weeks later when I was cooking it for dinner, and realized my mistake.
Butter makes everything better.
mamawho is right - after Bush was re-elected in 04 I took to eating it like a popsicle right out of the fridge. Jam a little swizzle stick into a stick of butter and all your troubles go away.
