Gas Station Diet

[Sherri]

The key is to be as prepared as possible, so that you leave little to chance as far as your food choices go.

 

I never hit the road without packing along a PBJ sandwich, fruit, nuts, and a thermos of tea. For overniters, whether it be a road trip or a flight, I pack my cooler or suitcase with huge homemade salads and a frozen container of homemade lentils or chili(assuming there's a microwave somewhere at the other end of the trip.)

 

I'm probably a bit more obsessive about this than necessary, but the trade-off is that I never get that greasy, sickening fast-food hangover when I travel. Also saves a lot of money and the time that would be spent searching for edibles en route or at my destination, when I'm tired and just want to settle in with a good dinner.

Trust me, she's got it dialed. Nary a stray cheeto enters the sanctuary of Sherri's body!

 

Microwave? Hmmm... I'm not seeing that work - Cheetos!

She's done it!!! Scofflaw!

[AlpineK]

If I don't have food and I have to choose between TDM and Burger King I'll pick TDM any day.

 

I do agree that it isn't real Mexican food.

Don't try to get between me and my peanut butter.

Why stop at gas stations for food when you can stop at those Mexican taco vans at the side of the road?

[archenemy]

yeah, you can fill your stomach and cut down on the snaffle population all in one stop!

Last time I ate Gas Station food was last August after stealhead fishing down on the cowlitz at blue creek. That little AM/PM with some Jalepino hot dogs. God I was sick for two days. Reminded me why not to eat that shit.

your spelling and grammar give me indigestion

[Sherri]

My Grammar's pickled eggs gave me indigestion.

[Sherri]

She was also a proponent of making big batches "sun tea" now that I think of it. She had a thing for stewing stuff in big jars for days on end, then feeding it to the kids.

 

Sorry, off topic.

[Dechristo]

No, you're simply telling that Grammar's house was a "gas station"

[Sherri]

Don't get me started on her sauerkraut w/dumplings.

 

That was premium, for sure.

out of curiousity i once looked at the pre-made sandwiches they sell at 7-11. i found a hero sub that had some 1300 calories and 84 grams of fat!!! i was amazed they could even fit that many calories into one sandwich! personally, i don't think you can trust the majority of pre-made foods out there. manufacturers simply want to produce something they think will taste good and will sell. your health never comes into the picture.

Well, duh.
