irish nachos.

this is the perfect super bowl snack!

as an ode to arlington tx...home to the 2011 super bowl and myself...

i made these last night!

J. Gilligan's is a great bar and grill in the heart of arlington

and they make these Irish nachos.

 potatoes. green onion. jalepenos. shallot. broccoli (because i had it) and cheddar!

cheddar is so hard to find here in paris.

 cut the potatoes in thin slices. 

boil the potatoes and broccoli for about a minute
 and then transfer them to ice cold water.

 blanching makes the broccoli so green. 

 put the potatoes in a baking dish and bake on high until they are crispy.

put on all the toppings and bake until the cheese melts.

YUMMY!

yay!

i have been waiting for this!

AND they are coming to Paris! 

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues by subpop

the first time i saw them was with my sis in denton tx.

they opened for blitzen trapper and there were ten people at the venue.

my sister and i had drinks with them after they played because 

they were surprised we were singing along and knew their songs.

the second time i saw them was in Paris.

and i met my boyfriend. 

i <3 fleet foxes. 

dreamy.

love the lighting.
