you know how sometimes you get the idea of something in your head, and until you have that thing, thoughts of it consume you? that's where i was last night with two things.

firstly, i had seen a plate of nachos on the Boston Pizza website, and that began the craving. so i went to Longo's with my shopping buddy last night to purchase what i needed to make them. then, while there, i found Kraft's new raspberry poppyseed dressing, and of course needed to buy everything else to truly try it out.

secondly, i really needed one of our movie nights. and fortunately, Alicia was able to arrange her schedule so that she could come over for just such an event. but not any event...we pulled out Emma, and watched all four glorious hours. definitely bliss.

so, Alicia got to enjoy my rather strangely put together meal of nachos and spinach and fruit salad. but, even though the two 'courses' didn't harmoniously blend together, they were pretty yummy on their own.

for the nachos, i browned extra lean ground beef, then added taco seasoning, shredded mozzarella and cheddar together, chopped up tomatoes, and even added my favorite of all mexican accouterments, refried beans.

to the salad, along with the spinach, raspberry poppyseed dressing, strawberries and mandarin oranges, i added sunflower seeds.

all in all, it was a super night.
