Look — some things aren’t meant to be reconciled. Fantasy board games and unresolved family trauma, for example. Or six cheeses.
The idea was to host a game night. “Fun,” they said. “Low-stakes,” they said. I made nachos. Someone brought their new boyfriend. He said, “That’s a lot of layers.” He meant the food.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Reflect on how much you've grown.

On parchment-lined tray, scatter a foundational layer of chips.
-
Add a chaotic but honest layer of cheese and toppings.
-
Repeat layering until ingredients or emotional bandwidth runs out (3 layers max recommended).

Broil or bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese bubbles and identity begins to solidify.
-
Let sit for 3 minutes before slicing like a lasagna. Or dive in. We’re not here for rules.
