I did it again...

Weather: 85 degrees and HOT
Preparations: 45 minutes

So, I did it again...with almost the same thing! Driving home I asked my husband what he wanted (I think that's where I started to go wrong) and told him what we had (I know this is where I continued to go wrong) and he said "You should make anything that would go well with the potatoes that you made the other night; those were really good"...and I listened (and that is the point where things got out of control!).

So, we got home and I sliced up the potatoes and began the journey. I decided to make some carne asada fries type of thing. I did get a little smarter. On the last 10 minutes of the fries, I just stuck the steak on a tray (lined with foil) right alongside the potatoes and cooked it all together. When they were done I put fries on the plate, cut up chunks of meat and sprinkled that over the fries, and then sprinkled cheese over it all.

While I was cleaning up the last of things, I stuck the plates in the oven (probably not the best idea, but I wanted the cheese to melt real good). When everything was clean I took the plates out of the oven and topped it off with sour cream. Oh yeah, the oven was off. I was just using the residual heat from the oven to melt the cheese and keep things warm. Plus, we use sturdy paper plates to eat off of since we don't have a dishwasher and it's just a pain to wash dishes so we try to do as little as possible. The plates were hot when I took them out, but they were fine for those three minutes they were in there; and the cheese melted!

So, how does it score:
Appropriate for weather: 1, I don't know why I do this to myself. I get so hot in the kitchen like this that I actually get nauseous and then I can't eat; but I did eat some and it was good
Filling: 5..if you eat it, it's very filling
Healthy: 3.5 I'm sure it's healthier than that, but come on, they are fries! Topped with CHEESE and MEAT and SOUR CREAM...that can't be very healthy
Ease: 4 Making these potatoes is really very easy, but I can see someone messing it up. Plus timing everything right is key as well, but it's not too difficult
