What's for Dinner, Fri., Nov. 3, 2023

[NJCher]

Veggie & flaxseed corn tortilla chips. Salsa, which I made from roasted cherry tomatoes. I used a jalapeno I just picked before it got cold 2 days ago.

The unfortunate thing is that I don't have very many chips left. Only about a quarter of a bag, because these chips are so good I'll have them even without salsa. So while I bought them for this salsa I was planning on making, I munched away on late night snacks and there's not much left.

I have some oatflax wraps, so I guess I'll melt some cheese on it and then put salsa and chopped cilantro over it.

I started wondering what was going on with the tortilla chips at the store, where I should have taken the hint. While I was self-bagging, as one must do at Aldi, I saw someone had left a bag of tortilla chips on the counter. I pushed it away, figuring the person would come back for them, but they didn't while I was there.

Then I went on to my second store. I had my back turned from my cart, choosing something from the shelf. When I turned around, I saw this hand going into my cart with a bag of tortilla chips in it. I said to the person, "Excuse me, this is my cart" and the person laughed and apologized. I said no problem and continued on. Confused, I guess.

I finally got to the checkout corner and the person in front of me was almost finished when she picked up an item from her groceries and told the checkout clerk she'd decided she didn't want it. It was set aside.

What was it? A bag of tortilla chips.
