I also love homemade tortilla chips. They are soo easy and good. I didn't know how well they would turn out, but I was pleased with the results. They actually should've cooked for a little longer because some parts were too soft, but flaws are good the first time around. This entire thing was actually a really quick meal/snack, and that's always good because I'm constantly shoving food down my mouth as quickly as possible before work so that I don't have to eat garbage there.
And speaking of work, my thirteen hour shift today became a zero hour shift because the sky shit all over the Northeast. This was my driveway this morning :]. My neighbor's had two trees uprooted too, but I couldn't get a good picture. Seriously, all last night all I could hear were branches falling. It was ridiculous. I'm actually really suprised that we have power back already; National Grid was saying that it probably wouldn't be restored until Sunday at the earliest. That being said, ours went out around 12:30 last night and didn't come back until about 2 this afternoon.
On a completely different note, I finally used a cast iron skillet that I bought several months ago, and just 
seasoned tonight. I made an interesting creation. It was onions, green peppers, corn, barley, vegetable broth, and taco sauce. And it was phenomenal. Except that I didn't actually let the barley cook all the way. The taste however, was pretty much what I wanted it to be. It was a little too acidic, so next time I'll have to work on that.
