Weird, here we just call them chili cheese fries. They are great with a little ketchup for sweetness a d mustard for tang. You can get them at any coney island.

Here, chili-topped fries are also just chili-cheese fries, but chili-topped tater tots are…Irish nachos.
 
I want poutine again, but I can't find the brisket in the d@mn freezer! And there are quite a few packages of brisket as craig smoked a whole one, just cannot find them.
 
Well it's settled then!
Lunch tomorrow is some kinds of Potato something-Chili-Cheese and extras
I just bought another bag of frozen Fries and Tots, Sour Cream, Green Onions, Sharp Cheddar Cheese and I just took inventory again of the deep freezers, and I have 4 more two cup servings of my homemade Paniolo Chili :hungry:
 
Re kaneohegirlinaz reaction, we have 3 freezers, a deep freeze, a refrigerator/top freezer and a side by side freezer/fridge, all previously stuffed full. I'm making a little progress on emptying the 2 freezer/fridges, but not so much the deep freeze.

If you could make a mornay sauce it would be even better, and then turn that into beer cheese. 🤤 🤤 🤤

I need to make some room in one our three freezers too, I really want to make Ice Cream! But it takes a bunch of room for the liner to freeze standing up right.

From my garden today I got some English Sorrel and some Sheep's Sorrel, along with the last harvest of garlic scapes and the first harvest of fresh garlic bulbs.

So with the sheep's sorrel and the garlic scapes, I made 16 portions of a sorrel, garlic & macadamia pesto and with the English sorrel and the fresh (as in not yet dried) garlic I made a sorrel, garlic and pine nut pesto. Both included mountain pepperberry and native bush tucker salt (that includes a variety of herbs and spices in it). The end result was 12 servings of pesto.

I'm now out of olive oil, so will have to buy some from "across the road" aka about 16km away or 10 miles away) where our local olive grove sells their own produce.

16 servings of pesto. It gets a layer of olive oil on top of the storage vessel to help preserve it (in addition to the lime juice) which is then stirred in before serving, so I don't mind it not being oily at this stage.

This is English Sorrel. It has much bigger leaves and stalks and is much tangier, but that also means you have to be more careful because that tang comes from oxalic acid in the leaves and stems.

I also grow a 3rd variety of sorrel that has red veined leaves. It is great for presentation, lousy for pesto because it makes a 'curious' colour when blitzed in the food processor. It also has much less flavour and is generally just better for salad.
 
My sister eats out at least three days a week, and mostly Mexican/TexMex. I'm going to gain five pounds, at least, before I go home.

Her birthday is on Monday, and I am cooking some $35 per pound USDA Prime Tenderloin (filet mignon) for her. That and small baked potatoes and some grilled asparagus (US definition of grilled). That will be the healthiest food we eat all weekend.

Monday night, we will probably have some light snacks while watching my sister's alma mater TCU play for the college football National Championship. Go Frogs!!!
