May I Introduce the Supremely Sophisticated French Fry Nachos

The ultimate in election returns snack food! I must admit, that I really enjoy watching the election returns and, since I get a feeling similar to that you get when watching your favorite team play for a bowl title, it is a situation that requires the appropriate food. This is not a time for a proper dinner consisting of a meat, a starch and a veggie. Absolutely not! This is, however, the perfect occasion to practice up on your favorite football fare....Super Bowl, after all, is only a few months away. This is my morphed version of the two favorite foods that I can not get enough of....french fries and nachos. (Drum roll, please) May I introduce you to the supremely sophisticated French Fry Nacho platter! Frozen crinkle cut french fries, cooked in the oven according to the directions on the package, then topped with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, chopped tomato, jalapeno and onions. Then shoved back in the oven for 5 or 10 minutes until the cheese resembles molten lava oozing down a mountain (of fries) and the whole thing becomes one homogeneous mass. A little drizzle of hot sauce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley doesnt hurt either!

Seattle Here I Come!

Im heading up to the Pacific Northwest today to attend the 2010 International Food Blogger Conference. The event brings together leading food bloggers for a conference focusing on the fusion of food, writing, and technology (and possibly drinking). This will be my first trip to Seattle, but I love strong coffee, rainy weather, and grungy rock, so this should be a great weekend! Lets see, did I hit all the Seattle stereotypes?

Of all Americas regional cuisines, the Pacific Northwest is probably the area I know the least about. So, in addition to taking in all the seminars and presentations, I will be doing my best to taste and experience as many of the local specialties as possible. If you want to follow along, Ill be providing bite-by-bite coverage on Twitter. Otherwise, check back here for updates from the event, as well as recipes and photos I collect along the way. Stay tuned!

Should I be concerned

In 2 years and 9 months, Steve and I have consumed many, many, bottles of wine. Enough that we have filled up this entire urn with corks. In all fairness we didnt drink ALL of them alone. We had company and some parties but I guess for the most part well have to take responsibility. Do you think we have a problem??? Sometimes, I wonder if my parents think we do! LOL Were fine...not to worry. We just enjoy our wine and started collecting corks since we started dating. They are overflowing now and I think the time has come, not to get rid of them but to make them into something. Maybe a corkboard? Any suggestions???
