This massive crocheted doily mysteriously appeared under a bridge in the UK recently, leaving locals to wonder.

To some it’s a giant nylon spider’s web, to others it’s a 12ft doily. Whatever the bizarre art statement is, bemused motorists have no idea how the rogue knitting project turned up beneath an underpass in Bristol.

By Katie Goodman

I have a weakness for chips and salsa. Not so much the chips, because they’re just a medium to get to the salsa. That is, until I started making my own tortilla chips. Now I enjoy the chips just as much as the salsa. Of course there are times when store bought is more convenient time-wise for me, but I do prefer the homemade version in general. They are so yummy, and they’re probably better for you than store bought because the sodium content and fat are completely up to you! I like to add a little lime juice and cumin for extra flavor, but if you prefer plain salted chips, just skip those steps on the recipe or try and experiment with other flavors.
