Oh yea, I had a coupon....It was on sale....I pulled the trigger on a 2 lb brick of Velveeta!

Any ideas besides door stop? Roll it in seasoned bread crumbs and deep fry it? One night I'll be kinda drunk and I'll put some on nachos and nuke the whole mess and wake up with crusted Velveeta on my chin and t-shirt. That'll be fun, but I doubt that will take the whole brick.

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm Velveeta.

When I was a kid, my dollar-stretching mom would put it on our hamburgers and I liked it then, but I haven't had it in a while.

I like nacho cheese dip made with Velveeta and that's about the only use the stuff has to me.

Grab some spicy sausage, salsa, and velveeta and it makes a pretty good dip.

I used to make a dip out of it by mixing 1 lb Velveeta with a can of Hormel Chili (no beans) and microwaving/stirring until fairly smooth. A little salty, but not bad in a pinch.

Yeah, I really hate those "Holy s**t I need a dip! Stat!" emergencies. Most will never know such panic.

Hey Hammb - where is that stuffed breadstick recipie? I've been wanting to try it out, and I'm curious to know how you approached it. Specifically, what did you use for the dough?

Sorry man, I'll get it. I used the pizza crust recipe out of "How to Grill" by Steven Reichlen. Let me see if I can find a copy of that recipe online. Otherwise I'll copy it down and post it when I get a chance at home.

I remember doing strange things with Velveeta. Or was it Velveeta that did strange things? Was it solid, or was it liquid, or was it plasma? Seemed OK at the time. Strangely, I don't remember why I don't miss it. Or, do I? Strange.

It's actually a pretty good litmus test for whether or not you really want to be at a party. If microwaving and stirring is too much effort, you probably don't want to go. (In which case being "the guy" who contributes a box of Chips Ahoy! cookies is always a touchy alternative...)
