i announced to the roommates today that my favorite food is chips. i prefer potato or corn, but i could probably eat any of the chip varieties.
blake and i ate a lot of herr's chips in harlem; he likes the rippled ones. i love love love jalapeno chips, especially the ones that came in the red and white striped bag that i ate as a kid. i have no idea the brand. in new york, i eat dirty's "jalapeno heat." i also love to put chips inside the sandwich, for both crunch and flavor. i think blake hit the nail on the head when he wistfully mentioned that "the sandwich shops should have chips as a topping." yes, sir, i agree.
AN ADDENDUM, october 10: blake mentioned that we mostly ate utz chips. it's true. i was confused in my chip-eating frenzy.
HOT DAMN. ANOTHER ADDENDUM. there is one memory that stands out with the jalapeno chips. i am in the van, a 1986 gmc safari, the car my father loved more than anything, and eating handfuls of the chips and i can't stop because then my mouth will be on fire. (the key was to keep eating them.) we are on our way to port aransas or south padre island for the weekend. it must have been in 5th or 6th grade.

we're we eating herr's or utz's, i thought it was utz's. how did your roommates not all ready know ths about you? and why aren't you blogging about how you use to have a snack of potato chips and ketchup?
you are right. mostly utz chips. i'll edit the original post.
and the new roommates don't know about my secret eating habits, only the ones i post on the blog.
thanks for outing me, jerkface.
i logged on to tell you that it was Bob's but Blake beat me to the punch. And don't feel bad about the ketchup and chips. . . . that is absolutely delicious!
you should blog about dipping, like your chips and ketchup or one of our favs growing up....pretzels and milkshakes....mmmmmmmmmm
pretzels and milkshakes? really? at any rate, sounds like a good excuse for a milkshake.
