    Post Easter and Valentine's Day

    As I ruminate over the old Valentine's Day candy and soon-to-be-old Easter candy, I let my mind wander aimlessly (as it often does) to what is really important in life -- SNACKS.

    So of course I had to post this mindless question for all heating professionals: what is your favorite snack food? That question can actually be broken down into two answers. A person can have a favorite snack food while working and a different one while not working.

    Here's my choices:

    During work: Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups

    Non-work: Lay's Salt 'n Vinegar Potato Chips

    Should I eat either? HECK NO!

    German Beer sticks..............................................

    They are similar to sausage-jerky. As tasty as it gets and fattening as it gets. Mad dog.

    My favs

    Current favorite;

    Unique "Splits" pretzels dipped in Herlocher's Mustard Dipping sauce

    Another one is Low sodium Triscuits and American cheese in a can, you know the kind you squirt out like whipped cream

    All time favorite- jello with whole peanuts as a topping

    Ok, I eat a lot of dried figs too

    You know I could probably keep going here....I LOVE snacking!

    As far as in my truck, I always keep some kind of dried fruit like figs, cherries, or peaches etc.

    I have been known to stop at a CVS drugstore, buy a big bar of Cadbury's Fruit and Nut chocolate..... and eat it up on my way to a service call

    Snack food?....Hummmmm

    I like The beef jerky sticks which I usually keep in the truck at all times. If I forget about them, not a problem. The older they are the better. If they do get a month or so old, they can always be used as a weapon for self defense because thoes suckers get hard.

    You can rope me in with a doughnut

    Beer and doughnuts go great together.

    Today for Easter we had bunny shaped doughnuts, seemed festive enough, and WAS delicious. Of course.

    Difficult choices

    For desert, Dunkin donuts came up with a winner when the ice cream outfit joined them. 3 donuts with 3 different flavors of ice cream, one scoop in each donut.
    For snack, Grimaldi's chocolate covered potato chips.

    Have to cut down...

    My Susan makes what she calls "haystacks"- those crunchy Chinese chow-mein noodles dipped in (good) chocolate. Cooled on wax paper, they are durable, crunchy -and way too good! The little salt that is in the noodles enhances the experience to be sure.

    Then there are the chocolate meringue walnut cookies- light as a feather, crispy as a cracker, no fat, no cholesterol, all chocolate and walnut flavor.

    And nothing comes close to her brownies...

    yum

    Chocolate Chip cookies and whole milk did the trick many days- especially the days when I felt under the gun. I think that it brought me back to first grade snack time and the promise of a nap. Wouldn't you love that now- someone telling you to have a snack, then put your head down and rest?
    I lean now toward fig newtons and juice, to avoid the guilt.....

    Snacks?

    My snack of choice would be a nicely aged New York Strip steak, about 12 oz. is good, medium rare with a little salt and pepper done over an open charcoal or wood fire. Open up and say Ahhhhhhhh! ;)

    2nd use for old beef jerky sticks

    Is re-bar

    must be aged minimum 4 years, best spot for preferred temper is the narrow space under the engine cover flange in a service van.
