Those are nacho chips. They are my chips.

1864 -- Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler attained her medical degree from the New England Female Medical College becoming the first African American woman to become a physician.

And here I was, expecting to read how she had become a key player in the history of the tortilla chip, perhaps by making a name for herself through innovative packaging.

I have SO MUCH SALSA in the pantry that I won’t need to can any for two more years. My Peach Tree (’Contender’ Zone 5) exploded with fruit year before last and even though I gave away CRATES of peaches to neighbors, I still canned a bunch as Peach Salsa. First time I ever saw that was at the grocery store; ‘Newman’s Own.’ How hard could it be to make my own? It wasn’t!

Here’s a great soup recipe that calls for tortilla chips, if anyone wants anything more substantial for supper than just Chips and Salsa. Super easy and delish!

I'd be interested in anyone's opinion about the best tortilla chips. I find that most of the brands I might buy at the supermarket taste like cardboard. However, Safeway's fresh-cooked chips are very good.

Meanwhile, I have done my best to acquaint Australians with good Mexican food. None that I found there was worth a damn. While visiting my daughter in Sydney, I cooked a Mexican meal for her friends. I found corn tortillas at Wollies, but there was no enchilada sauce anywhere, so I had to make it from tomato sauce, black tea, and what dried peppers I could find. Oddly, there was no corn oil to be had in any store down there, so I had to fry everything in canola. Adding a pureed green bell pepper to the refried beans gave it a twang and was a revelation to the Ozzies. The best, however, were the tostadas, made from fried whole corn tortillas with a little salt.

1980 - In a come-from-behind win, the U.S. Olympic hockey team wins gold at the Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. Coached by Herb Brooks, it was only the second gold in the team’s Olympic history.

The ‘Miracle on Ice!’ What a game that was! Suck it, Ruskies! ;)

You just gave me a great idea for dinner this week - nachos!

Everyone loves them and I’ll make one portion with jalapeños and another without. So delicious and no leftovers.
