When I was a kid, whenever we'd travel all together, my mom would pack a bag with Cheezits, apples, peanuts, and M&M's. There was always a gallon of water in the car. Those were our snacks for trips; no stops at convenience stores for us. Seriously, we'd get super excited over getting to pick out a candy bar when we'd go places with other people.
...I wanna be like my mom, actually, now that I think about it.

Where the neck is everyone, vacation? Well I'll babble about my life. I accidentally turned the lawn mower upside down in the shed, left it because I couldn't turn it. All of the oil ran into the engine we had to get a new lawnmower, but not before I felt felt guilty.

Huhwha...?
Scapegoat Shour, reporting for duty! *salutes*
All this talk of jerky - with all the traveling I've been doing, jerky has been a major source of sustainance for me on my current nutritional experiment. I was unpleasantly surprised how much sugar there is in MOST jerkys! In fact, the only jerky I found that had an acceptable amount of carb content was that processed stuff. You know, you have the stuff that is clearly cut right off of a huge slab of meat, and you have the stuff that takes all the crumbs from the first time, and they make like a paste out of it, and then jerky it into those uniform little strips...those little buggers were actually more appropriate than the usual stuff.
My mother makes her own jerky - nuah kem. Home Thai jerky is the best. I really should just make my own.

My first week in college (actually the week before, for marching band camp...yeah, yeah), my parents hadn't had a chance to come into town and get me a minifridge, and I didn't sign up for the campus meal plan because we thought it was a terrible deal. With a fridge and a microwave and a coffee pot, I'd be set for food. Problem was - eight days, no fridge, and the nearest grocer was a 15 minute walk. Which is not what you're down for after a day of marching all day. So, on the first day, I went to the grocer, bought a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a bottle of honey, a hand of bananas, plastic knives, and a roll of paper towels. For eight days, every meal was either a PB-banana sandwich or a PB-honey sandwich.
Not quite long enough for me to be sick of them forever, but enough that I didn't eat one again for a year or so after I got my fridge and coffee pot.
Thai Beef Jerky Recipe - CHOW
This recipe is pretty similar to the one my mom uses, except that it skips the step of cooking the beef once you've dried it. You can fry it in some hot oil for a couple of minutes, or, as we prefer, just stick it under the broiler for a couple minutes.
