The Viking Fan (and not a fair weather one either) and the Packer Princess (she has a Packer Favre jersey in pink) managed to talk my man and I into going to a bar in Hermosa Beach, Sharks Cove, which caters to Steeler Fans. In case you don't know, when a football game starts at noon in Pittsburgh, that means it starts at 9 AM in Hermosa (the "h" is silent, means beautiful en espanol) Beach.
I mention all of this 'cuz...well...do you ever have some foods from your younger days that just seem like they will always be comfort food even though they may never be considered healthy or low-cal? For me, tater tot hot dish is just one of those said dishes.
So, with this tater tot nudge I just had to make me some tater tot hot dish and see if I would still enjoy it. You know, or is the memory better than the reality. And as long as I was going to take this undertaking why not video it for posterity.
P.S. Tater Tots are a registered trademark of the Ore-Ida company, first created in 1953 and first available in 1954. Congratulations, Ore-Ida on 55 years of the tater tot. Mahalo!
P.P.S. I loaded the video to my Funny or Die page 'cuz I think it is at least a couple degrees of funny. I decided I'd test seeing what happens if I embed the video from funnyordie.com. What do you think? Not so sure I love it compared to YouTube. In case you would rather watch the video from YouTube instead, here's the link.
P.P.S.S. To my Chicago, soul sister of the same name and the same light (yes, we will meet one day), I just want to say (1) thank you and (2) I believe this recipe is gluten-free. I'm just sayin'!
