somebody shut me the fark up.
Momma asked if we could venture down to Roosevelt Brewing in Portales, NM this weekend, and I was a jerk... said that I'd do my best to make her beloved green chile queso fries here at home.
Dug myself a reasonably deep hole with that promise.
First things first- Gotta have good queso. This can take even crappy fried stuff "over the top" to the winners' circle.
Hate to admit it, but sometimes "pasteurized cheese product" just works...
Meanwhile, THIS is the Dog's Bollocks! You Brits will understand - Seriously... I volunteer to help put some of this in the USPS for folks who don't have access...
I got a little crazy. Thanks to DouglasLizard, I broke out a fatty dusted with rub from Moultrie, GA (home of the Maule Aircraft Company - Maker of some of the most Bad-a$$ bush planes on the planet)... chopped it up a bit, threw it in the CI skillet with some bacon fat from breakfast... a little crispiness.. then added to the queso.
OK - The stage is set.
Here's when we take this:
... and turn it into this:
It was ridiculous... and I probably just gained 3 lbs from the experience (completely worth it)!
