A warning involving queso and a microwave

February 12, 2008 · Filed Under Gringo observations

As you may recall of my goals for this year is to eat my weight in Mexican food each month. It is actually one of my favorite goals that I have given myself.

And because of this goal I feel that it is my duty to issue a warning.

A bowl of queso will explode in the microwave.

There, I said it. I had no idea before today that this could happen. You see, my microwave is a bit temperamental. Sometimes only a few of the numbers work. That means that the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 0 do not work at times. Today was one of those days. No big, right?

Wrong.

I put my little bowl of queso in the microwave with a lid loosely on top for 55 seconds. Took it out and it was still cold in the middle. So, I stirred it and put it in for 55 more seconds. When I opened the microwave what I saw was a queso explosion.

While I did manage to gorge on a fair amount of chips and spicy queso today, I also lost quite a bit of queso in the ‘cheese explosion ‘08.’

Microwave your queso with care kids.
