Nacho Night!

at the Keshok House, Friday nights are nacho night. we celebrate with a big plate of Russalicious Beef & Black Bean nachos and Beer Margaritas. Ole!

if you can't come over and enjoy it all with us (tho we truly wish you would) then i guess the next best thing would be to make them for yourselves. 

my plate of Russalicious Nachos

• brown about a pound of ground beef. add one can of rotel, chopped red onion, and cumin. simmer 20 mins.
• warm a can of black beans. add green onions and diced jalapeno to taste.
• layer on a plate tortilla chips (we use Santitas  because they only cost $2/bag and i really enjoy saying "San-ti-tas"), ground beef, black beans, cheese, more green onions, more red onions, and top with sour cream. 
• Russie likes to add spanish rice. (i make enough of a mess without it!)

for the Beer Margaritas, we use Sandra Lee's recipe (if you don't know her -- shame, shame, shame. she is FABULOUS!!!) but without the salt and the spears of garnish. after all, we're just simple country boys.

we usually do dinner and a movie. if you have Netflix i recommend:

Thoroughly Modern Millie with Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol Channing. (it's from the 60's, set in the 40's, has a subplot about white slavery... what more do you want???)

Girls Just Want To Have Fun with Sarah Jessica Parker & Helen Hunt. (two words -- DANCE MOVIE! plus there's baby Shannon Doherty & Jonathan Silverman)

Meatballs with Bill Murray (the ultimate summer camp movie)

or you can find something on ScyFy or Chiller.

Enjoy!! and let me know how you like it.. er, them.. i mean the recipes -- or the movies!
