Uncle Ken's Frito Pie

1 can of Wolf chili (other brands will do but Wolf is the best)
1/2 can of Rold Gold diced tomatoes with green chilies (generic will also work)
A couple tablespoons of nacho sliced jalapenos
A small bag of Fritos
A handful of grated cheddar or Mexican cheese.

The chili and the tomatoes go into one of those microwave things and zap it a couple times for 99 seconds.  I give it a few jolts and let it sit in between to ensure that the warmth is distributed evenly.

Add the jalapenos before the last zap.  If you add them before you will cook out some of their fire.

Add a layer of chips and press them down so they will be nice and soggy, zap, and then add another layer to be crispy.

One more zap and then the grated cheese, and one more zap until it is bubbling just a little.  Set it down in front of the tv and commence to some good eatin'.

There is also an Uncle Ken ramen soup, but that is a winter dish.


Pasties, ha, makes me giggle like an adolescent.  You know Honest Abe didn't use no new-fangled hydraulic whizbang and he got to be president.  Of course he got shot also.

W B Yeats was ahead of that Bukowski fellow.
The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity.


Speaking of full of passionate intensity (It's not quite passionate intensity, it's more like wise ass, like a wise ass talking to other wise asses, so that if you are listening, you may be an ass, but he's talking to you like you're wise too) now he is insulting that gold star mother and  talking about the big girl rigging the debates and on and on.  I had some Hoosier pals over in the middle of the week and they are good democrats and we clucked our tongues over every stupid thing he said, but our tongues stopped clucking when we got to the article that mentioned his rise in the polls.
