I Almost Fell for It

I came home from running errands to find this bag of chips on my counter, Chris having also just returned from shopping at Costco. He had written a helpful note for me on it: "made with meat."

I almost fell for it. Well, I did fall for it, if you want to be technical about it. I thought, "My husband is so thoughtful that he wanted to warn vegetarian me so I won't accidentally consume some meat." Then I considered how unusual it was that meat would be in chips, so I turned over the bag to read the ingredients. Only then did it occur to me that this was all a ruse, just the kind of joke so frequently played in my husband's family. And, boy, can I tell you those chips were very delicious!

I just hope there are some left for my husband to eat tomorrow.

    Yeah somehow brown rice gluten free whole grain chips + meat don't mix.
    Chris is a funny guy :)

    First, thanks because now I'm totally addicted to these chips. I saw them in the store and after reading your blog had to try them.
    Second, I laughed even more about this when reading on the back of the bag, "Vegan Friendly"
    I just wish I had some way of keeping them out of the hands of MY husband!!

    How funny. Reminds me of when either Jason or I taste a yummy dessert and claim "this is terrible, and to save you from having to taste something so repulsive, I'll eat it all because I love you." :)
