The Birth of a Recipe

Today I have invented a new food. I am very excited.

It was a "necessity is the mother of invention" kind of discovery. I had a jar of salsa in the fridge with just a little bit left, not enough to use in a meal, just a snack-able amount. So I went to the cupboard for the bag of tortilla chips, and found that too was nearly empty: All that was left were the little broken bits of chips at the bottom of the bag.

I tried to dip these broken pieces, but they were too short, and the salsa level was too low in the jar. I dumped the salsa in a bowl, and tried again, but still the chips were too small for dipping. I looked at the remaining chips, which looked an awful lot like Corn Flakes, and TA-DA! Idea!

I poured the broken tortilla chips into the bowl of salsa, grabbed a spoon, and mixed them lightly; enough to cover the chips with tomato-y goodness, but not so much that they got soggy. And I ate it like a bowl of cereal. And it was pretty fuckin' good.

Seriously.
