Lay’s Passport to Flavor Blind Chip Tasting Challenge

My Chip Challenge Cohosts
Photo-A-Day #4144

When we were on the Cape I went out to do some food shopping. I went to Shaw’s and saw that Lay’s had a whole bunch of new flavors. This was their Passport to Flavor series and there were four new flavors to try. I picked them up with the intention of doing a Blind Taste Test Chip Challenge. We finally got around to doing this today. Right before dinner Allison put all the chips into clear cups and made up a little chart of which were which. I actually got 5 flavors because I grabbed the 2013 Do us a Flavor winner, too.

We tried Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chinese Szechuan Chicken, Brazilian Picanha, Greek Tzatziki and Indian Tikka Masala. Eva did not like a couple of the chips. Andrew never met a chip he didn’t like so he was all about eating all the chips.

I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements to try and up my video game. Today’s video ended up a little wonky on the program. My biggest problem is the audio not lining up with the video. I am able to tweak it on the program better. However, I watched the video on my phone again and the audio and video were working correctly. So I uploaded both to see which one came out better.

the video straight out of the phone came out better. The audio was completely synced up, so I am not sure what exactly happened with the one that I put on the Mac. I’ve got to figure this out so I can start making better videos.

Queen of Katwe looks like it is going to be such an uplifting and inspiring movie. I love when Disney does these types of movies. When they are based on the true life of people they really resonate with me. I’m very interested in seeing this movie when it comes out in September.

Disney has released photos (Click here to open the .pdf) of Phiona Mutesi and her coach Robert Katende with the mirror images of the actors who play them on screen, Madina Nalwanga and David Oyelowo in the new movie QUEEN OF KATWE as well as a new TV Spot highlighting the improbable journey to become a champion.

The film also stars Lupita Nyong’o and is directed by Mira Nair. QUEEN OF KATWE is based on the vibrant true story of Phiona Mutesi, a young girl from the streets of rural Uganda who is introduced to the game of chess by Robert Katende, a former missionary and soccer coach, and goes on to become an international chess champion.

Phiona Mutesi and Robert Katende
Robert Katende was a recent college graduate and soccer coach for Sports Outreach Ministry who ran a chess program for impoverished children in the slums of Kampala when he first met Phiona Mutesi. As Phiona’s coach, mentor and father figure, Katende was instrumental in helping her pursue her dreams and become the champion she was destined to be. Today he is married with three children and houses several of his chess students while simultaneously serving as the director of Sports Outreach in Kampala and running 300 chess programs throughout Uganda.
