Vending Machine Recipe #13: Ice Age Diorama

Today's recipe makes a great edible centerpiece. Heck, it can even be a science fair project.

When I saw this gigantic Entemann's Iced Honey Bun in the vending machine I knew that only a true glutton would try to make a recipe out of that 5 oz. / 560 calorie food bomb. Hence, being a true glutton I totally went for it.

As you may have read in previous posts, Animal Crackers are my favorite item in the machine and make for excellent entertainment on a slow day at work low budget.

What's great about the Austin Zoo Animal Crackers, is that they have a penguin as one of their shapes -- perfect for the ice age diorama. In my scene, I have a giant penguin mediating some sort of truce between two woolly mammoths and a polar bear.

Ingredients:
1 Bag Austin Zoo Animal Crackers
1 Entemann's Iced Honey Bun
Serves: 3
Price: $2.25

Instructions:
Take the Iced Honey Bun out of its package and place on the table. Select appropriate animals from the Animal Cracker bags. (If you want Camels in the ice age that's your business). Press animals into the honey bun to form your ice age scene.

TM Radio: Oriental Chicken and Rice Soup

On today's episode of Traveling Munchies Radio we discuss the importing of foodstuff from around the world. Why would I import chickens from the orient just to make soup? It seems rather inefficient.

Vending Machine Recipe #12: Hot Tamales

Hola amigos. Today's recipe has a Mexican flair. This is due to a new arrival in the office vending machine, Miss Vickie's Hand-Picked Jalapeno potato chips. Miss Vickie's is a Canadian outfit now owned by Frito-Lay so I would say that this recipe is Muy bien, eh?

This is a simple tamale recipe that combines the corn flavor of the Fritos with the chili flavor of the potato chips.

This recipe would be perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration at the office.

Ingredients:
1 Bag Miss Vickie's Hand-Picked Jalapeno potato chips
1 Bag Fritos Original Corn Chips
Serves: 2
Price: $1.80

Instructions:
Combine the Fritos and the potato chips into individual servings at a ratio of 3 corn chips to 1 potato chip. Pop the whole serving into your mouth at the same time. Enjoy.

Traveling Munchie #13 - Herr's Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

Today's traveling munchie comes from my sons Forrest and Craig, who were lucky enough to go on a tour of the Herr's Potato Chip factory in Nottingham, Pennsylvania with the Boy Scouts.

Thinking of Dear Old Dad, they managed to pitch in and buy me this container of Chocolate Covered Potato Chips with the money they didn't blow on game room games, snacks for themselves, and other souvenirs.

These chips, by the way, taste fantastic! I love the salty - sweet combination and the crunchy - smooth combination that the chocolate and the potato chip provide as contrast to one another.

The most amazing thing is they survived the 6 hour bus ride home!
