ONE POT NACHO BEEF SKILLET

Would you judge me if I told you that I added extra tortilla chips here? Yes, the recipe calls for 1/4 cup, which is the appropriate amount.
Except, well, I may have added 1 heaping cup. I just felt that 1 cup may have been a better chip-beef-cheese-rice ratio.
Either way, grab your skillet, throw dinner on the stovetop, and you’ll be set in 30. Just remember, no plating here.
Eating straight out of the skillet is the cool thing to do. And plus, it’s less dishes for all.

Games, Books, Movies and Shows:
New idea – Let’s share some ideas for good games or books or movies or shows! Send me a little blurb as to what it is and why you like it!
At Huntsville's Women’s Bonspiel last year, the team from Parry Sound introduced us to a fun and easy dice game called “Left Centre Right”… for any number of players. Easy and quick to learn. 3 dice - that’s all! And your 3 “lives” can be chips, quarters, loonies, toonies, pennies… whatever your preference. Play for money or fun-or both! Maybe we keep a couple of sets of LCR behind the bar??
A suggestion from our Left Centre Right contributor, Cat – Want to come early before 9pm curling game to play a table game? Bring a game – show up and let’s play! J
