Also, I can’t help but wonder if that is a quart-sized Ziploc bag?

Looks good…but check the fat content on the banana chips. I don’t know about unsweetened ones, but the regular ones are very high in fat!
Still, if a few of those make the snack go down easier then it’s better to have them than a donut or a candy bar.

Actually, it was a snack sized ziplock bag, originally purchased so that Noah can take 15 or 20 cheerios to day care.

Can’t check the banana chips, the original bag is who knows where. (But what with nuts and chocolate in the mix, fat was clearly not my top concern.)

I loved your comment on Cynthia’s blog!

You wrote somewhere on your blog that you (I quote) “read faster than almost anyone I know”. This is funny since this is what my partner says about me, that I am the fastest reader she has ever met. Especially when I read in French (my native language). I’m not quite so fast in English!

Your snack looks great.

Thanks, Isabelle!

I suspect that you read hundreds of times faster in English than I can read in Spanish (the only language other than English that I can do better than identify the language).

I read once that American women speak English 20 or 30% faster than American men, but that the French, of either gender, speak almost twice as fast as American women. If that translates from speaking to reading, I don’t have a chance!
