Cold Monday and Potato Chips

Happy Monday, everyone!

Is it weird that cold and gloomy days (with a bit of rain) make me kind of happy? Maybe it's because we are so used to having sunny days here in LA that days like this

and this

are exciting - it's so different.

Those pictures were taken today, and right now my Mom is making yummy cold weather food.

Current temperature: between 58 and 61 degrees fahrenheit. Cold for LA standards. ;)

Anyone with me on liking gloomy days? How's the weather where you live?

Another indication that Fall is indeed here:

Pumpkins! :D

On days like this, it'd be nice to spend the day hanging out with your family or friends, watching movies, cuddled up on the couch with a blanket, eating... *sigh* If only we don't have to go to work, or school, or do stuff around the house. *sigh*

But anyways, besides popcorn, I think chips are good munchies when watching TV. Here are potato chips that my siblings and I love to eat.

We get these from our local grocery store for 99cents! CostPlus World Market has them too, but I think they sell it at around $2.

What is your favorite potato chips? Brand, flavor, etc.

Have a great week, my dear friends! :D

  13. I'm not really a fan of gloomy days but after the scorching summer we had, I am definitely appreciating the rain and the cold! haha

    actually, I'm not a fan of any chips at all! haha but sometimes I do have a craving and I like the Old dutch kettle cook in vinegar flavor haha or doritos the cheese one. :D

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh I love sour cream and onion crisps, cheese and chive, sour cream and cheese...

    I used to like that kind of gloomy weather too but now that I have to drive I just worry about the impending heavy rain showers, ice and snow that I do not want to have to drive in. Here it's been mostly sunny and crip lately with some gloomy days.

  15. We have the weirdest weather. It's October already but it feels like Summer here, I hate it! I'm not wishing for typhoons but a little rain won't hurt. Must be climate change.

  16. It's starting to get really cold here, too D:

    But at least you have yummy potato chips!

  17. Oh I had no idea it got that cold there! I'm in Wisconsin and that's a normal fall day! (Actually, I visited Southern California for the first time this past summer and it was actually cooler there than it was in Wisconsin - we get so much humidity.)

    I love seeing photos of fall! It makes me so excited to cozy up inside!

  29. Nope, I've had day after day of gloomy grey skies and I've had enough!

    If I could stay in my pjs drinking mochas and watching movies, maybe I wouldn't mind, but getting dressed and going out is hard!
