Nachos en Fuego

The first day the kids were home from school, I had five hours of back-to-back Zoom meetings. For lunch, they made nachos for themselves…but there was a miscommunication, and the nachos were in the broiler too long and caught fire. I came out of my meeting, removed the Nachos en Fuego from the oven, placed the pan out in the yard on the grass in the rain, and instructed the kids to pour water on it until the flames were completely out.

I remember fondly the days hen I used to tell the kids they could only interrupt me for one of the “four B’s”: bleeding, burning, broken, or barf. This might be the first time we actually invoked one of the B’s!
