Well... ahem... I definately do not need to go on a weight gain diet.
Much the opposite. I eat in the car too much. Should ride my bicycle more
instead. As soon as I get one that can go 75mph I'll do that...
I'm also rather poor, so I'm trying to stay away from energy bars and
protein shakes. I do go that route from me to time, but it gets old even
more quickly than PB&J and bannans. At least I can spike the jelly with
different chilles or occasionally use jalapeno jelly...

Hmmmm... That might be a good idea. Could you maybe pass along that
four-grain pancake recipe? I do like pancakes, and they are pretty good at
room temperature.

Yeah, I love chips & salsa. Have to get unsalted chips, just 'cause I
really don't like salt, but that's not hard. And I can always make a
variety of salsas. But, any tips for eating while driving without wearing?

Well, maybe not 4 hours, but I also tend to be fairly cavalier towards room
temp foods. At least, foods that I know were prepared correctly before
hand. I also have access to a fridge/freezer at work, and it would only be
90 minutes to 2 hours after leaving work that I'd be eating anyway, so
refrigeration isn't that much of an issue.
