Before making the big move from a small apartment in Philadelphia to a big-boy house outside the city there were numerous important decisions to make and concerns to address. Location, Lender. Local nachos. Square footage. Acreage. Basement. Gas or oil. HVAC. Roof. Driveway. Proximity to Wawa. You know what they say:

Location, location, nachos.

Roughly one mile down the road from my potential new casa de nacho was a small local Mexican restaurant. This was a very good sign. I had a good feeling about the house, the neighbors, the roof, the lawn, and the local nachos. So, I bought this house nachos unseen.

Well, as a first time home buyer sometimes things aren't what they seem...

Firstly, our neighbors George and Ethel are delightful. However, the water in the basement and the feral cats leave a lot to be desired. But the one thing I wasn't expecting were the nachos to be "slightly better than average."

Don't they know who I am?

No?

Well, that's just fucking wonderful.

Peppe's Mexican Grill isn't quite a restaurant and it isn't quite a fast food joint either. The decor fluctuates from fancy outdoor architecture to diner tables and chairs to ordering at the counter but also having a waitress. This identity crisis also is evident in the nachos. They looked good. Really good. There was nacho stuff in almost every single layer. However, the ingredients were standard and the flavor was just "good!" You know the "good!" I'm talking about. It's the "good" when someone asks how you are and you say "good!" but you really aren't good because life is hard.

Not quite what I was expecting when I bought this house with nachos around the corner, but you can't win them all.

I blame my realtor.

Just kidding, she was wonderful and probably reads this blog. Hi Karen!!!
