They went well with the guacamole, Kinky Friedman's Politically Correct salsa and the BLTs + avocado we had for dinner last night. And, although not optimal, they were an adequate conveyance for onion dip as well.
Of course, once we were halfway through the bag, the trick was finding an intact specimen for the photo op.
The Rio Grande Valley is right where my thumb is touching the bottom part of the chip. This is how to get students' geography test scores up. Edible lesson materials.

that was my first thought, too, how do they retain their shape? pretty cool. It's good to see on a "map" exactly where the Rio Grande Valley is, have an idea where you have relocated to. I'm glad I got to spend some time this summer in "your" region of the country when I visited my brother's family in Oklahoma - they have just recently moved to the bucolic Colorado 'burb of Loveland, so far they say it is as lovely as its name. So, that is just another strike against the possibility of my getting by for a visit down your way anytime soon... but its good to see you starting to savor the taste of Texas!
I guess some machine stamps them out of tortilla before they get fried. Between the shipping, stocking and the number of regular chips that get mangled en route to the table, it's a wonder there were any Texas-shaped ones left.
Gimmicky, but it worked on us. And provided a crunchy corn context for everyone wondering where we'd disappeared to.
Mmm, crunchy corn context...
Hey, ME, your hair looks FAB!!!
You know how people always say things like, "Only in California"? Well, this would be one of those "only in Texas" moments!
The hair has recovered nicely from the Bad Rachel cut, thanks to the reparative cut from David the Hair God when I was in CA.
But I'm back to square one with finding a local Hair God. Maybe I'll keep trimming my bangs for a few more months and see who I can scout out for regular upkeep.
J: another "only in Texas" thing is the propensity for leaving one's shopping cart BEHIND someone else's parked vehicle. Oh, the letters to the editor over that!
