Recently, Hannah and I decided to make a new fresh ceviche recipe. Next we pitched some fresh chips in oil we keeps it real. Now look closely at the bowl and at my chip. There’s a secret ingredient thats creatively thrown in the mix here. Can you see it? Do you know what it is? Is it local? Was it alive? Is it Vegan?
Now if all the guesses are just way off, I’ll drop a new hint…and so on.

Do Whelk really “swim in the same seas”? I would say it’s more of a slither or slide. Good post!

How did you make those gorgeous chips?

No clams, but close…read above! The tortillas are flour, chopped into 6th’s (half, then half, then half) and fried in a pan, they fry up very very fast, fyi. Then you salt the moment you pull them to strain, and throw into a paper bag. Boom, fresh chips! The same work s for corn tortillas as well. I just happened to make flour on that day.
