I live in New York. I’m a southern girl at heart.

Stop mucking with it. God didn’t make Ro*Tel for you just to mess it up by adding more onions or peppers. Don’t add anything. If you want something like sausage or ground beef, make it an option… but stop mixing it all together. It just messes up the consistency.</p> <p>Enjoy with chips. Or my personal favorite, popcorn.</p> <p><em>Stay tuned on Sunday for what to do with the leftovers other than eating more chips.<br/></em></p>http://www.katieschenk.com/post/1054846427http://www.katieschenk.com/post/1054846427Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:12:00 -0400<p>Probably so.

It’s tough.<br/><strong>Me</strong>: But why would he do something like that?<br/><strong>Mar</strong>k: It doesn’t matter why.
