I did make them and used black olives. They were great. I made them
as I said I was going to and there was nothing soggy. We ate a whole
baking sheet of them. <burp> I had a jap that had started to turn
red and it sure was nice. I've got about 20 more big japs and I've
been googling for a recipe for "Wolf Turds" to make over the weekend.
I've never made them but they seem to be pretty easy.

That sounds more like a taco dip rather than nachos.

I used all that and also tried Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce and I really
liked it. Much more than the regular sauce.

When I was a child, the burger joints served it just like you mentioned,
in the Frito bag. Yesterday, I had a Frito Pie for lunch. Being the
classy type (lol!), I had mine in a bowl. Fritos, chili, cheese,
onions and jalapenos. Yum! My husband is from Long
Island/Pennsylvania, so this is foreign to him. He had chili for lunch.

You're just shifting the problem from where you use the paper plate
to where the paper was processed. Of course, pollution that is
not in your backyard isn't pollution at all, is it?

I live in Michigan, smack in the center of the Great Lakes. Our waste

entering the
upstream drinking water treatment plant. That's good for the millions

Not for me. I abhor microwaved food.

Ever hear of the Dust Bowl? I live near the center of the Dust Bowl. Last
year this area got even less rain than the dryest year during the Dust Bowl.
*We* conserve water.

That made me chuckle. Michiganders have a dry humor that I

I had a hard time picturing Pine Knob being as tall as Knob Hill (338
feet) in San Francisco. So, I looked it up.

Pine Knob:
Summit Elevation: 1300'
Vertical Drop: 300'

They're about the same drop, but I don't know how the angle of their
slopes compare.

I did an outdoor performance at Pine Knob. I swallowed a moth while

Maybe you should move to someplace where there's more water. Bring
some jobs with you. We need 'em.

Why would I want to do that? We have jobs. If you have water you have bugs
and humidity. No thanks. Besides, I'm only 2 hours away from kids,
grandkids and parents here.

Ok. But right now we don't have much in the way of humidity, as it's
about 20 F
here. (I'm pretty sure that if you didn't have all those other
factors keeping you
where you are, that would clinch it.)

Awww....you poor thang you.....

We are supposed to be down near 20 degrees tonight...but it will
probably be colder. Snow showers tomorrow morning.... Today, I saw
the Sandias dusted with snow....

I have my long johns on...

Oh, you poor thing. It was 17 degrees here last night, frost like an inch
of snow. And I live in California too.

Well okay, so you don't have that much humidity. But there's way too many
people there for my taste.

Be careful in that rain! It's snowing and the wind is blowing hard here
today. I think it's going to be soup or stew or maybe chili for supper
today. I'll have to check and see what I can throw together without going
to the store!

Hey, does that mean more people equals fewer bugs? I certainly hope
