Respectful Trail Mix
Respectful Trail Mix
The person who invented the open-floor-plan office deserves each and every one of life’s misfortunes. This also applies to the person who decides to eat trail mix in an open-floor-plan office. There is a time and a place for crunching, and three p.m. on a Thursday during literal crunch time is not ideal, Karen. And while my trail mix, chock-full of nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate, may be hard to resist, it’s certainly more appreciated on a hike, during a walk through the park, or post–Barry’s Bootcamp when your cringeworthy chewing noises can be masked by chirping birds and babbling brooks. Thank you in advance for attempting to not be an awful human.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
LITERALLY CAN’T EVEN
Customize your mix! Just follow the approximate ratio of 50 percent nuts, 30 percent dried fruit, 10 percent seeds, and 10 percent other, aka chocolates/candies/coconut.
JUST THE TIPS
Always lightly toast your raw nuts to bring out their flavor.
