Once every couple of weeks at our house we do a “fend for yourself” night for dinner. This usually means there are a lot of leftovers so go warm something up. I love these nights because I enjoy experimenting with food combinations that usually scare my family. For example last night I got out a bowl and spread mashed potatoes on the bottom covered those with black beans and barbeque sauce covered little smokes then topped it off with a spoon full of the cream cheese dip leftover from our daughter’s graduation party. I cannot say that it was one of my better combo platters but I ate it anyway. I don’t mind when it doesn’t work out, none of them have ever really turned out inedible and most of the time adding salsa will improve it to tolerable. I think this also why I look at the crazy burger place here in town with interest. They put things like peanut butter or donuts on hamburgers, I have no idea if I would like those hamburgers, but I would like to try them once, just to see. Every time I suggest it as a place to eat, the rest of my family groan. I figure that after one bite, if I don’t like it I can ask for a side of salsa.
