 It might take a while to load, but it is well worth the wait...

For those of you who don't already know, I discovered this marvelous bit of masa harina while dining in 1997 at the Flying Burrito in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I had just started working at the UNC School of Nursing and it seemed like sacrilege to eat this particular chip. So, "the chip" rode around in my car for more than a year before I decided to share it with the rest of the world by creating this crude animated gif. The rest is (or will be?) history.
 
 

Here is Elizabeth, a good sport who has donned the chip. She is not a nurse, but rather a good friend, a fine art historian, and a curator at one of our nation's historic presidential homes.
