oh another tip. When doing any melted cheese recipe putting the cheese in
a bag with a sprinkling of flour or cornstarch keeps the cheese from
"globulating" when it's cooking and coats the cheese more uniformly . It
works better than putting corn starch into the pot. I would also add a
little bit of Mexican oregano.
