Crab Melt Pita Nachos
Crab Melt Pita Nachos are a fun and simple dish to make during the summer!
This is what happens.
When we can’t make a decision.
You guys get Crab Melt Pita Nachos. Sounds freaking so weird, right? Our original plan of action was to make a nacho version of a lobster roll. Then we thought to myself, lobster is expensive, we don’t live in Maine and what they’re selling at Sprouts looks like Sebastian on meth. Anyway, we decided to skip the lobster and try crab.
Well, that trail led us down a path of craving a savory crab melt. You sill there? We realize this is a lot to follow on a Monday morning. Where was we? Yes, crab melt. When’s the last time you had a savory, cheesy crab melt? Come to think of it yours truly has never had one. So, we went back to our original plan of taking the crab melt and turning that into nacho form.
PHEW.
Are you tired? EFF. We're tired. We feel like that took us five hours, thirty-seven minutes and twelve seconds to explain our inability to make a decision. Maybe we should have just made the damn lobster nachos. Sigh.
To tell you the truth we blame our poor decision making skills on the lack of cold air. Our air conditioning when out on Wednesday and of course, you can’t get a darn A/C dude out until the turn of the century because everyone’s cooling system goes out at the same time.
We are so over this heat and so is June. Poor thing has been sleeping with us with a fan close to her face. She woke us up the other night because her panting was so loud. We felt terrible. Thankfully the A/C dude is coming out today to fix the darn thing.
If it breaks again, you can find us in a corner devouring these Crab Melt Pita Nachos.
