What's a Super Bowl without chips and salsa?  Not much.  It's a generally accepted fact that eating whatever you want, and as much of it as you want, is the best part of watching the big game.  It's also generally accepted that in addition to wings, pizza, whatever you choose to barbecue, and beer, chips and salsa are a necessity. 

I've lived in New Mexico (in the 505 area code) most of my life, and I've tasted a LOT of different salsas in said life.  505 Organic Salsa is right up there with the best of the best.  Coupled with the 505 Organic Green Chile Sauce, you've encountered a staple of my diet that might make any lesser human cringe.  I put this stuff on and in almost everything, from eggs to tuna casserole (and if you're thinking yuck, try throwing some 505 Green Chile Sauce into the next one you make...). 

For good old fashioned chips and salsa, there's nothing better than 505 Organic Salsa.  Its signature green chile flavor keeps every bite scrumptious and saliva-inducing.  There are multiple levels of spiciness, if you can't handle the heat (medium is pretty rowdy and hot is scorching).  

The best part of all?  You can enjoy the game knowing that you're benefiting not just yourself, but mother earth as well, as all 505 products are organic.  505 has a flavor for everyone, from their Green Chile Sauce to their Chipotle Honey Roasted Green Chile.  The even make handy packets of their Roasted Green Chile (perfect for camping).  Their salsas come in the regular and chunky variety.  So feel good about yourself AND give your mouth something to rejoice about with 505 Organic Salsa.

I had never heard of this (quite historical) moment before glancing in my local rag (The Alibi) and seeing it playing at my local independent theater.  It actually ended up being a first date of sorts, which was made all the better by the fabulousness of this film, which follows Petite and his friends (cohorts) as he follows his dream. 

What makes the film truly shine are the people whose lives we are entreated to enjoy for an hour and a half.  Petit's friends (and the people he meets along the way), and especially Petit himself (his manic, eccentric delivery is a highlight), are beautiful in their simplistic humanity.  Petit's obsession with the feat that in the end he accomplishes tests the limits of his relationships, friendly and romantic, yet Petit will not be moved from his task.  His singular vision and almost claustrophobic telegraphing toward his one goal is at once amazing and humbling.  Would that I had even a tenth of the drive, even to finish one class, much less test the limits of my own humanity and ability in such a profound yet simple way.  Man on Wire is insightful in its capacity for expressing the simplistic nature of human thinking and how it can force us into ever-deepening corners of complexity from which often we do not escape.  But Petit does, and gloriously, beautifully, powerfully.

Man on Wire will run you through the gamut of emotions, and will inevitably overcome you with its singular, shining vision of hope.  In a time where we are all being tested in our own personal ways, Man on Wire reminds us that we are still human, and that in itself is amazing.  Our Netflix pick.
