Recent Highlight (February 17): My Big Bag of Failure...
I tried to make trail mix. It went badly.
My wife makes amazing trail mix. Really. It's like heaven in a plastic bag. So, on the way to work today, I thought I'd take a shot at making some. Didn't seem that hard.
Boy, was I wrong?
I bought a bag of M&Ms, a can of cashews, a can of toffee peanuts and I had some raisins and sunflower kernels from home. I mixed it all together in a big Ziploc bag.
It tasted awful. It was horrible. Like rained out ballgames, cerebral palsy and animals hit by trains. It was like eating table salt mixed with rock salt. I think the problem was using salted peanuts and salted cashews. So, that's $10 in the trash can.
Lesson learned.
