Thanks. The nachos were really fine, the enchillads were ok, I knew better but used extra sharp pre-shreaded cheese. I mean that stuff won't melt in a nuclear event. LOL I should have known better. But it wasn't too bad.
I really think its relates back to the dewater cycle in smoking. after its been squeezed thru the shreder at the factory and dried, besides the sharper the cheese the harder it gets, well I should have known better and just grated some of the other cheese I had here. Lazy will kill your good food everytime.
Man I hate that dang cheese now days. I used to live in southern Idaho near where a lot of western family cheese is made. The stuff that comes out of those factories is very toxic. The by products. I wonder how much wax and plastic is in that crap? That said I buy it and use it because I am poor. I have seen a decline in the more expensive cheeses too. Guess I'm just going to have to get a pet milk cow.
Down at the Dodge plant? I ran that gambit for over 4 years. That is without a doubt the hottest place I have ever been. Sits down in that bowl and you don't even get a breath of a breeze in the summer. It was the first time I understood the need for the afternoon siesta or the three hour lunch. But the Tequilla can't be beat. I was rehab'ing the cities water, gas, and sewage lines or what there was of them. Once you understand, how they are going to do things, and turn loose of trying to show them faster better ways, it really becomes more enjoyable.
Nice cook Kev. We use to use the stuff in the pouch. Fiesta brands now makes a taco seasoning and it comes in a largish bottle like the other hundred or so spices they make. It won me over with a traditional street taco kind of taste. Right on about the cheese from Chihuahua. My crew was just down there 2 weeks ago for some meetings wanted to smuggle some back. b
Yeah, I ALWAYS smoke two chickens at a time for that very reason. Even if I have enough left over to freeze, it doesn't stay in the freezer very long.
Looks awesome Foamheart...unfortunately, no smoked chicken makes it past the wife and kids. I've yet to pull one...might stick 2 birds in the smoker next time!
