First, Jill found a way to make chips at home.
A. preheat oven to 400F.
1. Cut up corn tortillas with a pizza cutter. We've only tried this once but would like to try thinner tortillas.
2. Mix up your guacamole (or salsa). This is a bit of a hybrid since we were low on avacodoes.
3. Spray chips with water, sprinkle with salt. Cook in oven for 3ish minutes. Take out, turn over and repeat.
4. Eat with gusto.
Second, Chad altered his army surplus panniers. The panniers are connected by a strap that goes over the rack. Because they were designed for a motorbike, the strap was too long so that the bags were too low. So I folded the strap and riveted it together. Also, I sewed velcro straps to the bottom of the bags that loop around the rack to better secure the bags. They worked great for our recent shopping trip.

If you use scissors/kitchen shears, you can cut through multiple tortillas at once. Usually three is about the limit.
Hey hey! Look at those panniers! The original version held up well for me when I borrowed them, but Velcro seems like a big upgrade over cable ties... and those rivets are pretty chic!
Is chad saying "Bwa ha ha ha ha" as he unveils his diabolic plan to convert vintage army panniers to velocipedial use?
