The Cog Block



What’s your favorite road trip snack? I like low-sodium pistachios and (when they’re in season) Bing cherries. I’m not sure whether I like these in spite of the inevitable mess the pits and shells cause, or because of them. At least keeping the trash from filling the car gives me something to do on long rides. I’ve learned to avoid really salty snacks like potato chips and pretzels when I’m in a car. I hate discovering my feet won’t fit back into my shoes when it’s time for a pit stop. I also steer clear of sweets and caffeine. They make me fidgety and then leave me sagging later. Instead I like to pack popped corn, carrots, apples, tangerines, cucumbers, bell peppers and string cheese. And bottled water, of course. Okay, I’ve got my shopping list. Now all I need is a road trip.
