Does anyone have ideas on homemade meals for a 4 hour roadtrip?!
I'm taking a trip with my boyfriend and I wanted some creative ideas for a small meal/snacks that don't include trail mix or McDonald's!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
A four hour trip is not that long!.Just carry a cooler with something to drink and a couple of snacks!.If you want to leave a little early and stop at a rest stop for a picnic you can pack a picnic lunch with sandwiches or fried chicken and potato salad and such!.Enjoy your trip!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Bread Fritters;
Go to the bakery section of the store where you normally buy bread!.
Ask the baker for an "unbaked" loaf of bread!.
He must put exactly the same amount of dough he would have used to bake a bread with in to a plastic bag for you, and it would cost no more than a loaf of bread!.
Take that home and in a pot warm some cooking oil to about half the depth of the pot!. (smaller pots take less oil than bigger ones do)!.!.!.
The oil temperature should be medium hot!. (about half the heat that the stove plate will go)
Now cut from the unbaked dough a slice about the size of your palm, and with a little water on your fingers (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand), stretch out the dough in all directions until it is about the size of your whole hand including the fingers!. That brings the cutting of dough to about twice the size it was when you cut it!.!.!.!.
Now with care, drop the stretched out dough in to the hot oil!.
It would rise almost instantly!.
Fry it in the oil until it is golden brown all over, taking care to turn it over occasionally!.
It would be puffy and crisp when done!.
With a large ladel or sieve, scoop out the bread fritter and place on an absorbant kitchen towel to rid it of most of the oil still on it!.
Repeat this process until all the dough is done!.
These bread fritters are extremely filling, and can be cut open and filled with almost anything from grated cheese to mince to poloni or jam!.
Try it, you will probably have some left over for two or three days, which your man can take to work if he likes!.!.!.!.
Bread fritters can be frozen and warmed up again if you have made too much, but the dough cannot, so rather make the whole lot and freeze what is left over for another day!.
They can be eaten hot or cold and are a favourite meal for my family on road trips!.
By the way, if you roll them in castor sugar they are just as tasty!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We always take one small cooler with crackers and cheese and ham or turkey!. It is easier to eat in the car than sandwhiches!. for only a four hour trip you shouldn'd need too much food!. Then we take another cooler for pop and bottled water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I normally make up some pasta and pesto the night before, and take snacks and houmous!. You could maybe make some flapjack too, for a good energy boost!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
