Ocho de Mayo
Happy Ocho de Mayo. The official celebration that all the leftovers from Cinco de Mayo are gone.
Tonight I made a Chupaqueso. For those of you not familiar with the Chupaqueso, it is an interesting dish. Originated by Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary, it is a molten cheese and filling stuffed into a wrapper of cheese. I dubbed mine the Chupaqueso de Muerte con Ensalada ala mode. Below is a picture sans ala mode y ensalada.
It was made with a shell of Cheddar and Mozarella, and a filling of Havarti, Bacon, Ham and Olives. OK, so the salad was sperate from the Chupaqueso, and only one of us had Ice Cream anywhere near it. But Still.
Laurell pronounced it "Horribly good." and then forbade me from making another one for a "Long Time"
I was originally going to call it the Chupaqueso de Luchadores, but after sharing one of theses among four adults it was named "of Death" and put on the infamous list of Foods forbidden to be made. Crock-Pot Lasagna is also on this list. Yes, once we had a dinner party called on account of "Lasagna of Death". After eating one serving of the evil, wondrous, food, we all sat around looking at each other, trying not to fall into a food coma.
Tonight was a little like that.
