Nachos, Squirrels, and the Fine Art of Preparation
Squirrels are snack royalty. These fluffy-tailed strategists spend their days stashing acorns, nuts, and seeds in an elaborate game of “hide it now, find it later.” But let’s not pretend humans are any different—especially when it comes to nachos. On Squirrel Appreciation Day, we’re honoring these industrious critters by stealing their best ideas. Specifically, their survival skills.
Squirrels don’t waste time on shriveled acorns, and you shouldn’t waste time on sad, floppy chips. If squirrels can sniff out the best acorns in the forest, you can find chips that won’t betray you mid-bite.
A sprinkle of cheese on a pile of chips isn’t gourmet—it’s a missed opportunity. Build your nachos like squirrels build their winter stash: carefully and with purpose.
Squirrels raid my backyard for the best acorns. You raid the fridge at 11 PM for the same reason: snack excellence.
And then there are the finishing touches. Squirrels don’t bury a plain nut—they bury a dream. Nachos deserve the same treatment. Whether it’s a flick of lime juice, a sprinkle of queso fresco, or a bold salsa swirl, the smallest details can turn good nachos into unforgettable nachos. Squirrels get it, and so should you.
So today, embrace your inner squirrel. Stockpile ingredients, build your nachos layer by layer, and savor the joy of preparation. Unlike a squirrel, you won’t need to dig these up later—but you’ll still feel like a snack king.
