A Taste of Home

A few weeks ago clayt and i found a shop that sells american foods and we bought a giant bag of generic tortilla chips. Here there are no tortilla wraps, shells, chips, nothing! So we were really excited about the bag of tortilla chips and decided to make "super nachos." Sheridan and I made them for clayt, amrah, andrew and ourselves. We layed out the chips on a cookie sheet covered with tin foil since the cookie sheet is charred and rusted, and then covered them with ground beef (mixed with homemade taco seasoning since there is none here), homemade nacho cheese sauce, red and green peppers, tomoatos, lettuce, black beans ($2.50 per can at the specailty food store!!!), and salsa (from germany, it was kinda gross). No sour cream, no guacamole (avocados - $9.00 for 2), but it was still pretty much the most awesome food we've eaten in 4 months! (ok, maybe not the best, but it was great to have a taste of home) Clayt and I liked it so much we made the same thing for dinner the next day also! Amrah (sher's hubby, mongolian) didn't seem too impressed, so I guess it's an acquired taste. Here's a photo of our end product, round one. We were a little like Gollum -- it was our precious, and we didn't want to take it into the boys to share! Notice the crazed look in our eyes.
