Thank you for asking about me. I got really, really into the holidays this year. They went too darned fast.

One 16 oz container sour cream

Further instructions:
Place three tablespoons of prepared dip in a bowl. Crush ruffled chips of any flavor on top of the dip and gently fold into the dip until thoroughly mixed. Eat with a spoon. ? ?
No, and no pardons, either! ?
I mean, it works, right? No different than dipping a chip into the dip! And less messy; it's in a bowl.
My husband dips Doritos in. Leaves a gross bloody orange trail. I've been making him take his own bowl and that way I don't have to worry about his unconscious double-dipping.
@polarberry Exactly! It works, it's less messy, and it prevents double dipping! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! ;-)
I haven't done it that way for years, mainly because I don't keep chips or dip in the house (because I would eat them if I had them!), but using ruffled chips is very important because they're generally thicker and more robust so they don't turn to powder or get soggy in the dip. See?! There's science behind my (poor) eating habits! ?
I support science!
That's funny, me too. I'm not a big chip eater and we usually only make dip at holiday time. I didn't grow up in a diphouse. My mom didn't like it and rarely made it, and my husband used to make it all the time when we first married, but fell out of doing it. I think we made more dip this season than we have in a long time. I do like it, in moderation, on fresh veggies. We've been alternating between ranch and onion.
@polarberry See, sure veggies are good for you, but they're really just vehicles for transporting dip into your mouth, aren't they? Sort of like cake; it's good, but the purpose of cake is to hold the icing so you don't get it on your fingers. ;-)
The secret gourmet recipe ...?
Now you will never be able to bottle it and sell it on Amazon!
Here's another little secret ... add habanero salsa and lime, forget the onion soup mix, and try shredded fresh onion... ?️
(Verrrry yummy with any kind of chips ... )
@unk-p, I just saw that cool raven pic you posted under "The Great Unraveling..." thread. Funny thing -- before I saw that photo, I was planning to post the attached video addressed to you, with the caption "Calling unk-p! Calling unk-p! You're wanted on The Rooftop Revolving Lounge!"
Synchronicity, my friend ...

I hate salsa, but I'll tell hubs about that; he'll love it.
One of my sons is a mini-chef and scorns anything that comes out of a box or packet. He makes a dill dip from scratch that is really good. I'm not that evolved.
Omg .. the fresh Dill dip!! With fresh salmon and milled pepper.... the best!
Yeah, forget the chips even, and the crudi-'tays.... just devour it with a soup spoon ??
mmmm, salmon. I could eat salmon every day. The best-tasting fishee.
Speaking of dips and dipping, what is everyone's opinion about a pb & j going into milk? All my guys do it and it is so gross. Turns the milk into sludge and the sandwich into a drippy, soggy mess. I don't get it.
@deetoo @polarberry @stargazer hey, thanks for the shout-out. I have not been feeling good. Spent thursday at the ER- kidney stones, again. Now i am just nauseous and tired. This time i am collecting the stones, so that they can be analyzed by the lab. And then i'm going to string them up and make a necklace out of them. And maybe some nice matching earrings.
ps Deetoo, that bird sounds like it ate a video game, lol.
I'm probably going to log out for a few days now. Love to you all!
Spouse and I composed an inauguration song, with apologies to Jimi Hendrix:
HEY JOE 2021
Hey Joe, Where you goin with that pen in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin with that pen in your hand?
