Straight from my favorite food blog in the world, The Food in my Beard, I present to you lazy man tamales. Any food that can be titled as “lazy man” dish, and looks this good sounds like an excellent idea to me. If I didn’t have black bean and rice burritos cooking right now I would literally drive to the grocery store and make these right now. I guess there’s always dinner.
I felt the need to apologize for subjecting you to the picture of Tio’s uber disgusting nachos the other day. I hope the following picture/recipe will make up for that and you can somehow forgive me.

Tios’ latest attempt to lure Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor residents into eating their terrible food is an eating competition involving 5 pounds of nachos, called Mount Nacheesmo. I would normally be pretty pumped about an eating competition in my hometown of Ypsilanti, but I am on a strict boycott of anything involving Tios Mexican Cafe.
In true Tios fashion, the nachos closely resemble something you could easily make at home. Check out that guacamole. Look familiar? Maybe a certain guacamole served by Taco Bell? Or something that fixes leaks in your plumbing? Sick. This looks like 4.5 pounds of tortilla chips with nacho topping garnishes. I think I’ll keep my $29.99 and Tios can keep their t-shirts. Boo Tios. Boo.

Todd got me thinking about waffles with his previous post, and I was going through some old pictures and came across this beautiful sight. Never in my life have I had a New York strip steak in New York, Canadian bacon in Canada, Boston cream pie in Boston, or Wisconsin cheese in Wisconsin.
I have, however, had Belgian waffles in Belgium. I’m telling you. These things are beyond ridiculous. For only 2 Euros, you can have your pick from these babies on every street corner.
The point I am trying to make is that if Eggo has the shortage they predict, I might need to relocate to Belgium. I need my waffles.
