If you are a contract a/v technician, you might travel a lot. I do – up to 200 days a year. That means you are on airplanes much of the time, which means dealing with airline food.
After a few flights on the different carriers, you’ll learn to relish Ted and Song. Eventually, with enough miles, you might be able to upgrade a couple tickets to first class – which, other than the free drinks, isn’t really all too amazing.
I don’t get that luxury, and a lot of flights I’m on tend toward the lower mileage, which means a free snack if I’m lucky, or a for-pay snack if I’m not.
To help with the inevitable munchies, here’s a mixed nuts recipe which I like to bring in my backpack :
- 1 cup un-shelled pistachios
- 1 cup dry-roasted almonds
- 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup wasabi peas
Place all ingredients in a ziplock bag and give it a couple of shakes.
Bring this in your carry on, and have a handful when the other folks are looking on hungrily!
