I will be soliciting sponsors to help construct a "Chip Peddler Event Trailer" out of recycled and perfectly good discarded materials. Sponsors will find there logo emblazoned on the trailer for the world to see forever. They will also be able to showcase their knowledge to the public at the E8 events when it becomes time for the application of there skills on the trailer.
On Wednesday this week I took a trip to the Grand Valley to meet with some retailers as well as Antonio, the owner of La Milpa, and see his shop and also talk about ways to make the chips unique by adding ingredients to the masa during the making of the tortilla. Also discussed was how I might be able to get product delivered in his area without becoming a hassle for his staff. Under my full disclosure policy I have taken a picture of the ingredient list from the masa supplier so you can see what is in my corn chips.
During lunch I spotted a a construction site and asked the owner of the cafe if he knew what they were building and it was the new site for La Milpa's new tortilla factory. There might be a time when it makes more sense to have my product made at his place under my guidance.
On the way home I made sure to check out some of the great vehicles along the route.
Also this week a couple of old friends from my hometown came by and stopped for the night and my mother (Irene) is visiting through the 4th of July.
