Yes.
My lactose intolerant ass agrees 100%, more queso is always a good idea.
Every day my mouth says dairy, every day the rest of me says noooo
Mouth wins nearly every time lmfao
I essentially quit dairy. It did things like make me feel like I was having a heart attack as early as age five. I'll have a reasonable amount now and then and it doesn't bother me mostly. Andrew Weil suggested people with food sensitivities could try gradually reintroducing after stopping and recovering. Sometimes I remember this and try a little and I'm fine. Thing is, I grew up downing pints of milk and such. I guess you can OD on it but you can also tweak your prescription till you get it right.
I trick myself by adding enough hot sauce that it doesn't even really seem like a dairy product anymore. I manage to forget the pain after about 2weeks and the cycle repeats.
My gut wants me to eat and do all the unhealthy shit until it's time for my gut to actually deal with all that unhealthy shit.
My gut says this passionate moment needs the loudest stinkiest flatus the world has ever seen.
There is always room for more queso
The gut is the biggest tease I know.
This is my base recipe. it stays smooth and liquid even after it's cooled down a bit. I'm told you can add citric acid to the cheese instead of evaporated/unsweetened condensed milk and cornstarch, but I have yet to actually use that bag of citric acid I bought so we'll see.
I know what you mean and you qualify it as unsweetened but never refer to evaporated milk and unsweetened condensed milk being interchangeable as this can create confusion. Condensed milk is sweet.
The recipe calls for evaporated milk, which is not sweet.
Queso as in cheese? What's that stuff in the blue thing?
It appears to be a melted white cheese with a sprinkle of bacon bits
Weird
Weirder still to just use the general Spanish word for cheese to mean a specific type of cheese.
