This is what I was trying to think of.
This is what my wife buys. It doesn't stand up well to think chunky salsa, but if your salsa is a bit more watery it's great.

For tortilla chips hands down Juanita's are the best out there. Closest I can find to Mexican restaurant handmade quality.

I've fried a bunch of corn tortillas trying to make them 'like a restaurant' and have never had results that were close. I think the corn tortillas you buy in the store are thicker, and don't fry as well, but I have no way of knowing for sure.
I've toyed with making my own corn or corn/flour mix tortillas, but just haven't yet. Anyone try that with any success?

If you have more than one Mexican restaurant anywhere near you, odds are there is a tortilla plant somewhere nearby. Get them from the source and they'll make amazing chips.

I had some whipping cream in my fridge for the past month or so, had been planning on making alfredo with it but never got around to it. Noticed it was about to expire, so decided to open it up and made some home-made icecream.
Just did equal parts heavy cream (1 cup container) and 2% milk. Added a little vanilla extract, about a teaspoon of salt, and then threw in sugar until it tasted good, something like 5 heaping tablespoons ish didn't really measure it, probably about half a cup if I had to guess.
Whisked it a bunch, then stuck it in the freezer, whisked it rapidly again every half hour or so until it was frozen after about 2 hours... was super easy and came out really good, lots of recipes online call for heating up the cream and whatnot, screw that... I used 1 dish, 1 whisk, 1 spoon and it came out great.
Maybe about 5 minutes of actual "work" to make an amazing desert.

Yup. Soup. Don't cook it. Pour hot soup over it. Wait 2 minutes. Eat deliciousness.
