Somethin' Yummy from Aunt Didi's Kitchen 

Flaming Nachos

   Tosititos
   Cheese
   Brother's Oven

This recipe is great for when you are babysitting
at your brother's house and the little tykes have 
fallen asleep and you can't wait to raid your brother's
pantry for all the rotten stuff that you can't buy
yourself because that's just too much darned temptation
to have in your house.  

First you place tostitos on plate -- leaving just enough
so it doesn't look like you ate the whole bag (and if
questioned, blame the kids).  Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Set oven to broil.  Make sure that you put the plate one the
highest rack and leave in for too long.  You'll know the nachos
are ready when you open up your brother's oven and see the flames
are engulfing the nachos.  

The next thing you do is panic and do whatever 
necessary to put fire out. Bury burnt nachos in brother's
trash can and go find something else yummy in the pantry which 
does not require cooking.

Blackened Spanish Rice

   One package of Spanish Rice
   Forget that you have to get tomotoes 
   2 cups water
   Some butter

Mix ingredients together.  Bring to a boil.  
Reduce heat and leave for 20 minutes until 
water is soaked up by the rice. Trick: 
The trick to blacken spanish rice is that you 
think you have turned the right burner down, 
when you have actually turned the burner that 
you are not using to low, while the burner that 
the rice is cooking on is still on high.  
In about ten minutes, you will start to smell 
the rice burning.  Scoop off the bottom of the pan 
which is quite crusty, then dump Salsa to 
doctor the burnt taste.  

	
Blackened Pop Corn

   1/2 cup uncooked popcorn
   1 tbsp of oil 
   1 pot
   1 oven

Mix all ingredients, cook on HIGH and cover.  
Immediately walk out of kitchen, and resume 
an activity (i.e., talk on phone, fix make-up, etc.)
for approximately ten minutes.  Popcorn will be done 
when you mistakenly think the house is on fire/smoke alarm goes off.

Get yelled at by husband.
