because im in such a good mood, and not hung over for the first time in 3 days, i will now present my long over-due recipe for queso.

made this weekend with the ladies.
made more enjoyable while drinking beer and watching the craigslist killer.

2 tb. butter (duh)
2 tb. flour
roughly 1 cup WHOLE MILK
1 1/2 cups SHARP cheddar
some salt and pepper
spicy salsa


melt the butter in a small pot.
stir in the flour, and whisk together until a blonde colored paste forms.
slowly whisk in the milk.
heat until thickened. should be able to coat the back of a spoon.

(this is a basic rue. for Yummy Mac and Cheese add a cup of cheddar, 1/2 cup gruyere, salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. stir in cooked pasta, add to a baking dish, cover with breadcrumbs and bake for around 30 minutes until brown at 375).


for the Queso:

stir in the cheese, salt, pepper and salsa. turn off the heat. add more cheese and/or salsa to taste.
serve with chips.
