What to do with 1/3 a bag of unsalted chips? Well, if the Green Bay Packers are playing, you might do as we did and get inspiration. Up in the midwest when I was a kid we didn't really understand Mexican food. Nachos for us was shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on tortilla chips and microwaved until the cheese was somewhere between melted and a solid rubbery sheet. This is not acceptable in Texas. However, as we watched the Packers lose their game we became nostalgic. We also remembered that we had left over bratwurst from the night before. Wisconsin nachos were born. Just take a leftover brat, slice it thin and quarter it. Spread it over a plate of chips, put some shredded cheese on top and microwave it until the cheese fuses itself together. This is a long long way away from what nachos should ever be, but it's delicious all the same. We managed to finish that bag of chips, mission accomplished.

Wisconsin Nachos
My wife wanted chips. We don't normally have chips around, but she wanted them, so she got them. In my years of marriage I've learned to just roll with this sort of thing. She got the kind of chips she liked which are unsalted restaurant style tortilla chips. Unsalted tortilla chips aren't very good unless you have something to dip them in. She also got a jar of dippy cheese so it worked out. Until we ran out of dippy cheese.
