4th of Juleezy, 4th of Juleezy, how oh how can I make you more cheesy? Why, by making up the word "Juleezy" in order to rhyme with "Cheesy" for one. Another way would be to make up some PATRIOTIC NACHOS: A.K.A. PATRIOTIC BBQ GRILLING NACHOS USA USA, the recipe for which is available at the link previous, or featured along with 13 other delicious recipes in Recipes from the Nachonomicon. At this point if you're reading this and in desperate need for nacho goodness for your BBQ this afternoon you're going to have to go with the linked version because there's no way you can order the book and have it arrive to you on time, but if you found it so delicious in retrospect you felt like buying the book, you'd get no complaints from me! And remember, don't go blowing your hand off with some fireworks, because it's a lot harder to eat nachos with a hook.
Review: Takis Blue Heat
Here at Nachonomics we try and keep things pretty PG-13 to cater to the family friendly audience as they eat nachos around the dinner table at night after saying grace. This review is not for them. No, thanks to Takis Blue Heat, in this review we are going to get pretty spicy. Consider yourself warned.

Ten years. Ten years of nachos. That’s the tin/silver color slash ornament gift of anniversaries if you believe whoever made that stuff up. Who would have believed it possible? NOT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ASKED, “WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A WEBSITE ABOUT NACHOS?”, THAT’S WHO. But hello 2012, 2022 called from a cell phone because land lines aren’t a thing anymore, and Nachonomics has been going strong the whole time!
“But but but, what about 2021? NOT A LOT OF POSTS THEN NOW WERE THERE?” Well you’re right 2012 people, you got me, there obviously couldn’t be any problems in the intervening years that might have made it hard to go out and get order of nachos after order of nachos, week in, week out, as your body ages and begins falling apart due to destruction by sodium and cholesterol. So sure, maybe Nachonomics isn’t the exact website it was back in the day, but really, what is? Amazon used to just sell books, but look at it now! For a caterpillar to become a butterfly it has to be a pile of goop in a pod for a few weeks, and metaphorically it’s the same with websites. Also, how have we all just accepted that a smushy bland wormy thing can magically change into a beautiful winged ant creature and nobody thinks that’s bonkers? Magic of life I suppose.
Lill’ Baby Nachonomics is going into 5th grade now and about due for their meningococcal and HPV vaccinations, if I’m reading this chart on the internet correctly that is. Thanks for hanging out with us for the past 10 years, even if there haven’t been as many posts as you’d like recently. Don’t worry though, like the Taco Bell nachos you dropped in the back seat of your car and thought you cleaned up, on a hot day you’ll smell us for the rest of time…
T'was the Nacho Before Christmas
While you're all off enjoying the family events and probably having the day off, we here at Nachonomics would like to extend an extra special holiday gift to you in the form of what will undoubtedly be a new timeless Christmas classic you can tell your children, and them their children, and so on. So with the Merriest of Christmases, and Happiest of Crimbos, we present you our timeless nacho classic "T'was The Nacho Before Christmas".
Happy National Nacho Day!
Here we are, barely having recovered from The International Day of the Nacho when we are gifted with National Nacho Day! What have we done to deserve such hashtagged and non hashtagged blessings? How can this miserable world produce such goodness when all it has sowed in its blackened fields is pain and agony? That is the magic of nachos my friend.
If you consider the Nacho High Holidays (or “Nacho High Nacholidays” if you will) to be The International Day of the Nacho, National Nacho Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Ignacio Anaya’s Birthday (and we must) an even distribution would be a holiday every three months over the course of the year. Sadly, this is not the case. The 3ish months between Cinco de Mayo and Ignacio’s Birthday works in our favor, and the 2ish months between that and The International Day of the Nacho isn’t bad, but immediately getting National Nacho Day leaves us with a whopping six month wait until the next. Six months without a holiday related reason to eat nachos is a tough row to hoe.
If you’re “lucky” enough to work a 9-5 in the US and get your standard Federal holidays off you’ve run into this problem as well. Kicking off with Labor Day at the beginning of September you then have Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, maybe the day after, maybe Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years, and then maybe MLK Day in January. Four months have your lion’s share of days off, and then you’re stuck with Memorial Day and 4th of July to break up the other eight. Distribution is a problem all over the place (not just COVID related shipping delays, TOPICAL!) and whoever was planning these holidays in the first place should have sorted it out then, but what can you do now?
The only thing you CAN do is disassociate the need for a holiday to eat nachos, which should be easy. If you’re only eating nachos four time a year, I don’t even know what you’re doing here. But don’t let me nacho holiday shame/threaten you, eat them whenever you want. Just especially eat them today though. Or else.
