Ticket to Ride and chocolate-covered pretzels
I couldn’t believe that Marianne* didn’t know what pretzels were. It came up when we were talking about sweet/salty combo foods in the car last night on the way home from the airport. So I did what I had to do: went to the bulk section of Sunflower Market in Orem and bought four different flavors: chocolate, chocolate with toffee bits, blueberry, and strawberry. They also sell regular yogurt and cherry yogurt flavors. They are all YUM.
Behind the pretzels is our evening entertainment—Ticket to Ride – Nordic Countries (a limited edition version) happened to color-coordinate with the pretzels. Totally unplanned, and totally awesome (if you’re amused by things like that, which I am).
Sorry for the yellowish photo… I need to learn more about the white balance settings on my camera, and I’m too lazy to fix the color in Photoshop before uploading these fine and vital to documenting my exciting life photos.
I should also mention that a thieving hand sabotaged my arteestic still life photography. I was not surprised. They were delicious!

I just finished playing Ticket to Ride with my kids. Garron won as usual. I haven’t won yet. Soooo . . . are you guys any good? Because I need to play people I can beat.
Well I have had pretzels before but I have never played Ticket to Ride so I’m sure you could beat me Marie. The pretzels looked so good I had to go get some, and found them to be a fairly healthy snack alternative.
Well, I won the game, but it was a pretty close match. If I share my ruthless strategies with you, Marie, then maybe you could beat us. But it kind of defeats the purpose of ruthless strategies if I were to share them…
Sydney, don’t get your hopes up too much about those pretzels as healthy snacks. Hint: they’re covered in chocolate.
shhh…..It’s just a crust. Actually I got some non-chocolate covered sourdough pretzels and they were only 140 cal for 15 pieces and the pieces were big enough that 20 were enough to satisfy me.
