This post concerns an idea for food storage on road trips.
Recently on a long drive to and from TAG, I pondered the
idea of a better way to pack and transport food for trips.
The problem is, I have too many canned goods and not
enough variety of real food. I wanted to travel lighter
and more efficently, yet pack a higher level of cuisine.
I found the following item at Walmart in the section where
they sell glass jars for food storage:

What is so cool about these little jars is that they have a screw
lid with a air-tight seal ( compared to similar products with
just a pop-top lid ). The jars are a little bigger than Dixie
cups, and are made of a plastic similar to other tupperware
products.
In my opinion, this is much better than a Nalgene bottle for
packing food, and they are very inexpensive.
What you can do with these jars is cook and prepare your
favorite foods in the nights following your road-trip and keep
them all in the refrigerator in a large plastic box. Then when
it is time to leave, you just put the box the car and take off.

These jars are much better than zip-lock bags for things like
grapes, cookies, and other things that get squished easily.

What I plan to do with these jars, is fill an ice-chest full of
them and have a smorgasbord of my favorite dishes - kind
of like a micro-buffet.
I will probably throw in some chili just in case some of you
show up.
