Potato Chips
Why am I eating potato chips? Because they’re right in front of my eyes in our kitchen. Do I think it will help me sit down and write a blog post? Yes, I do, but so would carrots and humus.
I asked my husband not to buy them because it’s the one thing I can’t seem to pass up. But he declared as we were grocery shopping together the other day, that it’s the only thing he asks for to go with a sandwich-type dinner. He doesn’t eat crackers or other kinds of chips or pretzels; he just wants a plain potato chip. I suppose we should buy a tiny bag for him in the future, because I keep going back to this pretty big bag, and now we’re on day 2 of my foray into the ‘Deep River Original Sea Salt’ potato chip bag.
Why am I writing about potato chips? Do I have no other meaningful topic to explore? On Day 18 of the SOL challenge, I don’t think I do today.
But now I’ve eaten my last chip. And I have written today’s blog post. Mission accomplished.

What is a food that you can't resist?
Ah, chips. So many people can't resist, but I am one of the weird ones who can. They are not necessarily my favourite thing. I do love how you write about your journey of blogging through chip eating -- makes for a relatable slice. (I can't resist twizzlers or peanut butter M&Ms).
ReplyDeleteMission accomplished, indeed! Chips are irresistible- sometimes I get salt and vinegar ones so that I don’t house the whole bag in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteI am a popcorn pig. An absolute glutton. I can not stop eating it. In fact, writing this comment is just a quick stop on my way to the bag of Skinny Pop luring me into the kitchen. I've already eaten my dinner, but a little bit of popcorn (ha!!) is calling my name.
ReplyDeleteAh...it's ice cream for me! So hard to resist. Although on any given day I might be tempted by some other delicacy. What is it about mood and food?
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to comment on your blog the whole month, but my work laptop blocks the site for some reason. It just occurred to me to find my old personal laptop that I rarely use anymore and success! Potato chips are SO impossible to resist. I definitely agree with you that a potato chip snack would help the slice get written.
