And now a post on something all-important: snacks. Every gamer eats a lot of random snack-food while playing video games or D&D or just hanging out watching movies. Most of the stuff we're inclined to eat comes in convenient bags, usually labeled Doritos or Cheetos. This also includes other sedentary activities; like in my case, working at a library five days a week.
Most of the snacks I can buy in the vending machines downstairs are decidedly unhealthy, so today I went to the union and found a few things to make a quick and delicious trail mix. Here's what I threw together with simple ingredients I bought at the Student Union:
1 bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios
1 small bag of Planters Cashews
1 Box of raisins
1 bag of apple crisps
- Mix all ingredients together in the cereal bowl.
- Munch.
I'm hoping to try some variations of this as a substitute for chips. Might try different kinds of cashew (I LOVE cashews), maybe throw in some mini-m&ms, try a different kind of cereal, some popcorn.
The next test is to see if I can make enough of something like this to appease the appetites of my male gaming buddies in lieu of something horribly unhealthy. And cheaper than buying ready-made trail mix. Which usually has pretzels in it. And I don't like pretzels.
Right. back to watching Angel now. :)
