A Story (and a snack) Well Worth The Time...

Those of you that follow Kristen's blog might remember that back in April, she took her "Golden Girls" trip. This is a trip that Krist takes with her three best friends from childhood. On the 2008 trip, they went to Florida and Kristen came back full of stories about this amazing place called Rosemary Beach where the girls stayed.

One of the Golden Girls, is Melissa, and she lives in Tennessee. Not long after their return, Melissa blogs about these chips she recently discovered. They're called "Julio's" and the girl seemed to have some sort of strange co-dependent thing happenin' with the chips. So, I read the blog one day and ask Kristen,

"Did you see that Melissa blogged about chips?"

"Yeah," Kristen said. "Those are the chips from our trip."

"Are they really that good?"

"They are amazing."

Meanwhile, Melissa is in full investigation mode, trying to find out where exactly these chips can be found. She knows that they are made in Del Rio, Texas and soon finds out that, though rare in lots of places, they are distributed to Lufkin.

And that's when Kristen went looking. A few days later, she finds them. She buys them. She gets in the car and opens them. And we eat them. All of them. All....of....them....

I'm not sure if they're the best all around chip. You know - good with burgers or queso or sandwhiches or as nachos, etc. I do know that they are the best stand-alone chip I've ever eaten. I'm serious...you eat these things by themselves. You don't need anything else.

So, while Melissa and her husband are busy trying to negotiate some some of deal wherein the Julio's people will distribute to Nashville, the Wrights now have a home stocked with the finest chips that Texas has to offer.

Eat your heart out, Radke.
