I had a great time snowboarding at kirkwood this weekend, but I keep re-living this one fall. At least obsessing about my backwards fall on "the wall" shaved off 20 minutes of conscious thought from my commute this morning.
While the purpose of the weekend may have been the snowboarding, the real magic came in the various meals we bought at gas stations. I'm the sort of person that values real food, but we ended up eating one dinner and two breakfasts out of the candy aisle at 7-11. I got to re-visit my grease-filled adolescence when my dinner on friday night consisted entirely of Zingers. They're like twinkies with frosting, and I highly recommend them. I'm probably going to run downstairs and check all of our vending machines to see if we have any. Since I live and work in California, our vending machines are usually full of shit like "fruity healthy nut snackers" and "wheat germ poppers."
Some people are totally fucking insane. These guys have reverse-engineered the Zingers recipe and tell you how to make them at home. Come on, people, two Zingers cost like 70 cents. Can you beat that with a recipe that requires 15 ingredients? You cannot. Also see snacks.cyberunks.org for in-depth reviews of 155 snacks, and a very sobering look at your future in that cubicle.
