As travel days go, it wasn't so bad. We made it to NY in record time. But as a food day, it was not so great. Lost the nut war, in a spectacular way. I was horking them down in the car, because I had become somewhat nauseous, and they were helping to settle my stomach. When we arrived, Emily's sister had freshly roasted a bunch of almonds (who does that?). There is a lot of 'hanging around' that gets done, and 'hanging around' often involves being in the kitchen, preparing food. We were all trying to make sure the kids don't go hungry, but we fed ourselves quite a lot in the meantime.

After Kids in Bed:
Went to Bar
2 glasses of red wine
savaged the nut-mix bowl (mostly nuts and sweet'n'crunchy nuts)
After the kids were in bed, and Emily wasn't feeling well (sinus infection of some kind) I put her to bed and vamoosed off to the local bar, which is located just a stone's throw away from our hotel room. Got a few glasses of wine and asked for the nut-mix bowl. Waiting for it arrive I was pondering how much worse the nuts would be than the very old chicken wings that were gaining crust as no one paid them any mind. The nut mix arrived and I ate all the regular peanuts out of it, and then started to eat the beer nuts, and then the sweet 'n' crunchy nuts. Pretty much a nut disaster, but sometimes you have just to roll with it. At least I didn't eat the bread sticks or spicy sesame crunchers or whatever they were, but on the third glass they would have been gone, too.
