@jake4480 If you can find them- https://casasanchezsf.com/products/chips/thick-crispy-gruesos-tortilla-chips/

They are the greatest bag chips known to humanity

@skullvalanche whoaa dude THANK YOU for this tip I'm gonna find these! I do the On the Border ones and they're delicious but they're damn THIN

@jake4480 I agree! We need tougher tortilla chips, but not so tough that their edges lacerate the roof of your mouth, like Cap'n Crunch®

jake4480, 27 days ago

@VE3RWJ right? There has GOT to be a middle ground here hahaha

wendigo, 27 days ago

@jake4480 Yes, I find I usually need the industrial strength ones. ;>)

jake4480, 27 days ago

@wendigo thick BLUE CORN or something hahaha

@jake4480 I use a spoon or knife to get “stuff” then apply to chip.

jake4480, 27 days ago

@fistfulofdave you know, this is probably a MUCH better idea 🤯

@jake4480 What are the layers in a seven layer dip? Asking an American seems to be an authentic and reliable source 😉

jake4480, 27 days ago

@Kitty I made one last night, and this is something pretty close.

Refried beans on bottom
Then layer of nacho cheese
Layer of guac
Layer of salsa for wifey, taco sauce for me
Layer of sour cream
Black olives on top

@jake4480 Thank you, am I missing a layer, or I'd seven layer a name but not a reality?
Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult, I just wanna check so I can maybe try out the authentic American experience at home at some point...
Nacho cheese is a cheese sauce, or a special type of cheese? 😅

jake4480, 27 days ago

@Kitty ha! Yeah I noticed that too. I think some people put tomatoes on top too, I didn't have any. Or sometimes green onions (I should've on mine!) meat would be cool too. Lots of ones I see are definitely misnomers - not 7 at all. But this image is kinda cool, it has 7 ingredients at least, including what looks like meat? If we're counting olive/green onion as LAYER which I dont think so. Youd really sprinkle both 🤣 and then the 2nd one has a cool layout of the common ingredients.

@jake4480 This is really cool, I didn't mean for you to go to that special effort, but I am glad and appreciative. Thank you 🤩

@Kitty haha and heck yeah, it was no effort, I did research last night, my wife knew most of it though haha. She was dictating as she drove home over the phone, and I was prepping the stuff haha. When she got here I just had to put it together. How dinner happens a lot of nights 😂 she's a great cook but she's the only one that commutes right now and it's FAR, like 1.5 hours each way usually (I've learned so much cooking stuff from her!)

Kitty, 27 days ago

@jake4480 That's sounds like great teamwork. That is one heck of a commute 😅 mine is an hour each way, and luckily because if COVID I can now work from home 2 days a week and I usually celebrate the extra time by staying in bed longer each day, having a luxury breakfast and getting to the library 😎

jake4480, 27 days ago

@Kitty it IS good teamwork haha. And yeah, the commute is awful. I used to do it with her. We keep trying to move closer but it never happens. An hour each day sucks too haha but hey home for 2 days a week isn't bad and sleeping in and library! Yeah, her company doesn't like the WFH thing and she kinda hates it too, she doesn't focus hahaha

@jake4480 🤣🤣 You’re not wrong

jake4480, 27 days ago

@brandonwrites it's a tragedy
