Let’s Talk Nachos

Doesn’t it seem like there’s an expert on everything these days?

Surfing experts!
Snake handling experts!
Couponing experts!
I even tuned into the TODAY Show the other day and found Natalie and Savannah being schooled by a dishwasher loading expert! (At which point I questioned, for the 121st time, why I watch The Today Show!)

I have never climbed on a surf board, I generally try to avoid snakes and coupon clipping, and, as A. will most certainly confirm, I am far from an expert when it comes to loading my poor, put-upon dishwasher.

I am, however, a confirmed Nacho Expert, both in terms of preparation and consumption.

And today, I’d like to share some of my most expert tips with you.

Expert! Get ready!

Dear Nachos,

This is, for the most part, a love letter. Because I love you! And I have for so long.

But Dr. Phil says that love is a journey, so I think it may be time for us to consult our Garmin and make sure that we’re on the right track.

I know you’ll agree that it really was love at first sight for us. Your melted cheese first caught my eye from across the room that fateful night, but when I finally worked up the nerve to come over and introduce myself, your fresh salsa and salty, crunchy corn chips had me at ‘Hello’.

To this day, your creamy sour cream and tart lime juice-laced guacamole still make me weak in the knees.
