If you're planning on pit stops and eating every 3-4 hours, then you
won't need car snacks. Do you eat more than every 3 hours when you're not in the car? Jennifer Acertaingirl wrote: Stop at places to get real food! Of course I intend to stop to eat!!! I'm planning on pitstops at 3 - 4 hours, that's why I asked about snacks. |

get yourself a hard-sided cooler - some are very small
( the size of a 6 pack ) - they rarely leak and take up very little space - take hard-cooked eggs, cheese cubes, jerky, nuts, and even some berries if you tolerate them - personally when I travel I use the cooler to make sure I get enough water when in the car - if you are concerned freeze some bottles of water & use them as "ice packs" or the double zip lock system in the hard cooler works well- no soft sided cooler I have ever owned didnt fail at some point- either by leaking or not keeping the food cold - we travel from NJ to florida in Mid summer with the cooler in the car and had Ice all the way - |

We're headed on an 8 day road trip this October, from NJ to FL with stops along the way. I'm looking for some snack ideas, since I don't have a fridge in the car (!), cheese and anything perishable is a no-no. I'm thinking nuts, maybe some peanut butter, and my usual frankensnack per day, any other suggestions? If you have room in the trunk for a small ice chest or cooler, you can keep cheese in the car for a couple of days. I did this on my last vacation to Arizona - in June! - we bought a $10 styrofoam ice chest from Target and kept it in the trunk of the rental car. We picked up a fresh bag of ice at a convenience store every day or so. We were able to keep cheese and cold water handy the whole time, as well as preventing the protein bars we had from becoming a gooey sticky mess. -- carla http://geekofalltrades.typepad.com/geek |

The lard would tend to melt in a hot car, and it's not too appetizing to eat just by itself. Though since you're always such a kind and supportive person, perhaps we should reconsider your advice. Do you eat your lard by the handful like yo' mama? ..:. Craig |
