We relocated in the spring and the weather was nice. We went out a lot and tried several Mexican
restaurants. Fell in love with the
chips. Then summer arrived and I was
just not used to the Texas 100 degree summers so mostly stayed indoors during
the day; eating chips and salsa. I
didn’t just eat them, I devoured them. That
was the summer I developed a deep and abiding love affair with chips and salsa
– and it showed. I went up a few sizes
in a couple of months and my family started to make jokes about filling the
pool with hot sauce, getting me a job at a Mexican restaurant to save money,
and lastly, breaking my jaw. But I
didn’t care. My devotion for the chips
knew no bounds.
Happily I got my bearings and put the brakes on. But to this day I cannot go to a Mexican restaurant
and abstain or just eat a few. Chips and
salsa are comfort food. And the more
comfort the better.
