I needed a snack

Or I wanted a snack. Anyway, I made one.
I have these delicious round tortilla chips made with yellow corn. They are tasty by themselves but I needed something more. I am out of salsa. I thought hummus then changed my mind.
I have a huge brick of cheddar cheese my sister gave me, so I made nachos. NOT convenience store nachos but the kind I got used to in a Mexican restaurant where I worked. I did cheat a little by not putting them on a stoneware platter in a 500 degree oven. I dislike the cheese sauce in a plastic cup you get at the convenience stores. That is not how a nacho should be.
I spread my chips on a heavy paper plate. I put a few jalapeno slices on them, and a few green olives. I put cheddar cheese over them all and microwaved them until melty.
Those jalapenos let you know you have eaten something.
So does the melty cheese.
I think that took care of my need for a snack.

My daughter and I used to split an order of Super Nachos at a mall when she was younger.

That sounds like a rather good snack. I keep seeing mentions of nachos, and I am developing a craving for them. Unfortunately, I shouldn't eat them right now due to a tooth issue. Once that is fixed, though, I am likely going on a crunchy foods binge.

@GardenGerty Thanks. It will get fixed soonish, but things are rather backlogged right now.

You are right, a snack is more of a want than a need.

Better to plan and prepare a snack than to mindlessly munch.

It is nice to sometimes have something different.

That would've been to hot for me. I like things just a bit milder.

It was a better choice than having a little of this and a little of that to the point that I ate a meal's worth of extra calories.

Sorry--but not really. It was just the right snack.
