Road Nonsense
My family and I spent last Friday and Saturday in our van driving from Greeley, Colorado to Lexington, Kentucky for a couple of speaking engagements.
On day 2, after our 17th hour in the car, we found ourselves a little loopy, bored . . . and hungry, so we made up a game. The game required answering this question: Which food would be the hardest to eat in a car on a trip?
(I know this is a complete waste of blog space, but bear with me :))
Here's a list of what my family and I came up with (in no particular order):
-Spaghetti with meatballs
-Chinese Food eaten with chopsticks
-Corn on the Cob
-Spare Ribs
-French Onion Soup
-Fondue
-Alaskan King Crab legs
And my favorite answer (good work Rhonda): Chocolate from A Chocolate Fountain.
I know this has no spiritual value at all, but . . . if you'd like to play our game, just leave your suggestion in a comment and I'll post it. Next Wednesday my family and I will vote on your suggestions and pick a winner. I'll send a signed copy of my latest book to the person we think submitted the best worst food to eat in a car on a trip.

How about a big slice of watermelon with seeds.

Beans (for more than one reason)
A large steak, dripping with Hollendaise (sp?) sauce

Garlic Blue Crabs.....these are impossible to eat at a table, much less anywhere else. At least around the table you can leave the fragrance when you done!
Hi Arron,
I would have to say that eating a seeded watermelon from the rine would have to be the messiest thing to eat in a car. I know I wouldn't want my kids eating it in my mini-van.
Take Care,

A McDonald's Happy Meal - because from looking at the floor board of my van, my daughter can't seem to get any of it in her mouth.
My sister and I came up with something piled high like pancakes with syrup and whip cream or an ice cream cone with many scooops! ;) Fun game ;)
chinese food with chopsticks seems daunting at 1st but having it a few times i can tell you it is workable. just proves you can get used to just about anything.
phil in japan
by the way in Japan just a regular old Big Mac is a mess while driving since it is dripping with whatever that special sauce is...
Hey Aaron,
I hope you're enjoying Colorado. We miss you in Florida! Anyway, how about Jello? That's tough to eat out of a car, let alone inside a car!
A platter of sizzling fajitas. You know trying to get the ingredients off of the platter, then building and rolling them on those itty-bitty flour tortillas they give you!
Also once tried eating extra crispy fried chicken while driving... what was I thinking?!
We've had a family meeting and--after a lot of discussion and a split vote--we have a winner: Ice cream cone with many scoops! Congratulations to Hollie/Kati!
Send me an email with your address and I'll send you an autographed book.
