1 February 2011 - The Return to Awesomeness

There are many words, few pictures and many orgasmic noises to describe our last cheese outing.

Let us begin with the pictures first.



The pictures fail to adequately convey the cheese experience we enjoyed. I would have taken more pictures, but I was too busy shovelling chips laden with cheesy goodness into my mouth. This week saw a return to the old glory days of cheese, a time before we saw the need for a blog to record the week-to-week inconsistencies. The dip was thick, spicy, hot and brimming with perfectly balanced cheese-tastic flavour. A type 1 dish was used, ensuring a wonderful amount of cheese, and the chips had minimal salt. The only smudge on what would have been an otherwise perfect cheese offering were the few stale chips, set aside in the following picture.


However, that did not stop us from consuming every drop of the wondrous dip. As you can see, the chip to dip ratio was also miraculous.


Consistency: Perfect.
Spiciness: Perfect.
Appearance: Perfect.
Temperature: Perfect.
Flavour: Perfect.
Chips: Almost perfect.
Chip-to-dip-balance: Perfect.

I'm both scared and excited about going to Santa Fe this week. It seems impossible for them to serve us amazing dip twice in a row, but a part of me is praying they achieve this feat.

As a side note, the tacos were also amazing. Just FYI.

18th January, 2011

This week we had the experience of eating what was quite possibly the runniest cheese dip in the world. Halfway through the meal there was cheese all over the table, and by the end of the meal it looked like we had been throwing cheese at each other (which we would never do, it's a waste of delicious cheese).

The cheese dip before the mess started:


Note the return to a type 1 bowl, which houses the largest quantity of cheese (and is thus our favourite).


Trying to show how runny the cheese was, and failing.

The combination of the super runny cheese and type 1 bowl meant that we ended up with a huge discrepancy in the cheese to dip ratio. It seemed like not matter how much cheese we tried to pile onto our chips, we couldn't make any significant dents on the amount of cheese.




As you can see from the pictures, both bowls had a significant amount of cheese leftover that no amount of chiplet scraping could finish. So we ordered another serving of chips.


As the pictures show, I got cheese in my water glass, and Bacon Sandwich dripped cheese into a candle.

For the usual breakdown:

Consistency: Very very thin. It was pretty much cheese water.
Spiciness: Noticeable spice, approval from all involved.
Appearance: Neat at the beginning, cheese warzone by the end. Also, a welcome return to bowl 1.
Temperature: Hot.
Flavour: A little cream-cheesy, but spicy enough to create a good balance.
Chips: What is becoming the usual assortment of mixed chips. Also, very little salt this week.
Chip-to-dip-balance: Disastrous. We had enough leftover cheese in the end to drink.
