Many good things and happy times went down this weekend, but the happiest of all was Josh's rendition of Galaxy Nachos. This recipe was invented by the cartoon cat, Roast Beef, from Achewood, and it is featured in The Achewood Cookbook: Recipes for a Lady or a Man. With those kinds of credentials, you just know these nachos will kick ass. And kick ass they did. The secret: bake the naked chips for ten minutes or so before you put anything on them so they stay extra crispy. This is a nacho revelation. Further photographic evidence here.
To add to the excitement, while Josh was out buying nacho ingredients, I braved the crowds at 1/2 off day at the estate sale down the street and scored six videos (including the first three Alien movies! Yay!), and an adorable sake set that I love. Now I just need to find out about drinking sake.

A chum and I drank sake this weekend. His only advice (he knows more about than I do) was that cheap sake must be drank warm, but more expensive sake still tastes pretty good at room temp. We heated up a bowl of water in the microwave and sat our glasses of cheap sake in it until they were warm. Also, if you scream "BANZAI" into the face of someone everytime you take a drink, it really gets things going.
Those nachos look awesome! l have been inspired to make my own nachos: "Star Scream versus Captain Kirk Nachos"
those nachos are making me weep with joy and hunger. i am about to go make myself a pathetic "work sandwich." i hate eating at work. it feels like i am still on the clock. god those nachos look amazing. also, don't overheat your sake or you will evaporate the precious, precious alcohol. i think krouchdog's method sounds pretty sound.
