Notes from Nancy Guppy

The only thing better than a potato chip is when a potato chip is wrapped around a second potato chip, what I like to call a “chip-within-a-chip”. It’s particularly satisfying when the chip-within-a-chip is a Tim’s brand chip because Tim’s are already so crunchy, that the chip-within-a-chip crunch is heavenly. In fact,[More]
