I had a great test of self-control last night! I passed the test!!! I offered to bring chips and salsa from Chili's to playgroup this morning. I decided it would be easier to get the chips and salsa last night after Steve got home, rather than be late to playgroup and get the girls out in the heat. I got the salsa around 9:00 last night. I had to keep it in my fridge until 11:00.a.m. today when playgroup started. I knew this would be very difficult for me not to eat it. You see, I am not normal. I can't just have a little taste and be done with it. When I eat chips and salsa I just have to have a moment with it. I inhale each heavenly bite. I have seen how my sweet friends drizzle at little salsa over their chips on a plate. I can't do that. It has to be all or nothing with me. I have been known to eat 8 and 9 bowls of Chili's salsa. The wait staff have given me drink cups of salsa to save them a trip to my table over and over. I just simply LOVE the stuff! I have stabbed friends hands trying to dive a chip into the salsa bowl. People have asked me if I just want to drink it with a straw. That really does not appeal to me. I love the salty, spicy, tangy sauce as it explodes against a crunchy, thin chip.I knew if I got a little taste last night, I would eat ALL the bowls of salsa.
This is how much I put on each chip. I don't really eat all that many chips.
I look for the chips that have curl. They can hold more salsa.
I also love Abuelo's salsa. We had this tonight too. I told Steve we had tons of chips left over and not much salsa. He brought home some of their salsa tonight. SALSA FEST!!!!I am not into gourmet salsa, such as mango salsa and fruit salsa. I also don't like any kind of bean or corn salsa. I just like normal, runny tomato salsa! My third place favorite salsa is at El Canaveral in Cabot, Ar.
To be honest, the only way I made it through the night without getting into the salsa was because I bought a watermelon.In my book , watermelon is right up there with chips and salsa!!!!! I love a good, cool, SWEET, seeded watermelon. I bought this one right before I stopped at Chili's last night.

I'm certain I can eat my weight in it!! So sad I missed it at playgroup. Now that I'm talking about it I will probably have to have some for lunch tomorrow! :)
