Calorie-Free DORITOS(r)!

I did a bad thing.  But it does have some good on the front and the back of it.

Good thing at the front:  I donated a pint of blood on a Friday.

Bad thing in the middle:  The next day, after skipping breakfast and driving to Eugene, Oregon, I ate my sister-in-law-equivalent (SILE)'s nearly-full bag of Doritos(r) crisps (Nacho Cheezier flavor) almost by myself.  I doled out one or two chips to SILE and her son (Nephew Equivalent, or NE).  So I DID share.  A little.  I promised to replace the crisps.  But I sorta forgot, 'til my spousal-equivalent (SE) and I were on our way home on Sunday.

Good thing at the back:  I got home and designed CROCHETED DORITOS(r)!  Yummy little crocheted triangles with happy faces stitched to them.  The tail left at the top gets untwisted and becomes 'hair' or maybe a good spot to tie them to, say, a Christmas tree.

They're terribly popular with my co-workers.  They've been encouraging me to get an etsy.com site to sell them.  We'll see, eh.  For now, I just ask them to add an extra dollar to their favorite charity next time they give.

Sometime, I'll even figure out how to post some pix of the C-F Doritos(r).  Props to the makers of those gloriously evil comestibles.
